This evening.

indie music-loving revellers arrive at the Body and Soul Festival Ballinlough Castle in Co. Westmeath for a weekend of camping and choons from the likes of Leftfield, Supper Furry Animals and, crowd favourite, Shit Robot.

FIGHT!

      Or, y’know, they have parents who like spending time with their children. But yeah, your hipster assessment is undoubtedly correct.

      Have ya ever chased after a child in sandals, with your chains, and bangles dangling about, and a fully packed pipe gripped between your teeth, and all the while risking that old but not working pocket watch falling to it’s long sought for end…. nah? ….hipsters don’t have kids, don’t do running neither, it’s counter productive to the posing element of being a carbon copy of all the other beardy drain pipe wearing ******* :)

        Ha! One way they’ll get ’em though is by accident… so the hipsters could effectively breed themselves out via entering parenthood / the real world. Stick that in their blueberry-infused tea and drink it.

      Well Dongle, I am the parent in the picture. Hipster accessory. Ha ha you are hilarious. Body and soul is the highlight of our family’s year. We save all year for it. Our kids beg to go back as soon as we leave. Sounds like you have had a very boring life that lacks colour, fun and laughter. Enjoy wasting your life moaning about people in pictures you don’t even know. I feel so sorry for you. I hope you will be lucky enough to have kids one day. Although being called a hipster a week before my 41st birthday has made my day so thanks for that compliment!

            I tarted nuttin’ !

          Nobody will believe you if you end your sentences with “I tells ya!”

          It’s even worse than “I tell ya.” Usually heard by a scientist trying to convince non science folk of something awful about to happen.

      How can you be a SFA fan and think Body and Soul is a heap of bollix? You’re all messed up inside.

      1. Custo

        Because I like their music and don’t like crap festival sound and half hour long greatest hit sets. I’ve seen them at festivals and seen them at proper gigs. There’s no comparison.

        1. Fatman Scooperman

          Fair nuf. I just like getting scooped up in a field in the sunshine. If there happens to be a band I really like playing in the vicinity that’s a definite bonus.

        The “I’m not there so everyone that is there is a c**t” brigadiers.

      Aye, looking at the photos now and I can’t stand every one of them. All of the girls with some manner of bollocks in their hair. Body and Soul always had the worst delusions of being some kind of earth mother retreat and not a massive corporate piss up for the middle classes. Reports of it being a disaster yesterday with people queuing 5+ hours to get into the place.

      1. Lilly

        Janey, what do you mean some manner of bollocks on their hair? Are you talking sunglasses? How dare they.

        1. jonotti

          Flowers, indian headdress and assorted random crap that has blighted festivals for the past decade. Why do people feel the need to dress like a spa when going to enjoy some music in a field? Why would you dress any differently to your normal leisure wear?

          “We” don’t joke about that St John
          But it’s the bottom of the ninth and we’re fresh out of Pioneer pins

    You people don’t understand festivals like this, so stop judging it on your own Utopian criteria.

    Most festivals nowadays are there for the benefit of the totally uncool people, to allow them to feel cool for a day or two. Shut up and let them have their fun.

    I’m talking about the organisers / promoters / chip-vans etc.

    The attendees never mattered.
    Only the money matters.

  2. BOB

    This site has some seriously miserable gits lately, God forbid people would be having some fun at a festival.

  3. Tom

    What is utopian criteria?
    Tell us, what do cool people do? I want to be cool Sharon’s boyfriend.

    Spacer.

    I hope there was adequate catering to provide for the clearly significant food requirements of that crowd.
