Dour Festival Belgium

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

While most of the Heartlanders were having a ball in faraway Leeds, I got myself to Dour yesterday to see Mark Stewart & The Maffia on stage.
And wow, it was an overwhelming experience :notworthy: 8) :notworthy:
Skip McDonald on geetar, Doug Wimbish on bass, Keith Leblanc on drums & Mark Stewart on the mic. Adrian Sherwood behind the mixing desk.

The played for an hour, did about six or seven songs, including a cover of David Sylvian's Forbidden Colour. Did I mention it was pjuur quality?!
I don't think there were more than 50 people in the tent and that's a real shame when you think it was those guys that played on the Sugarhill Gang's Rappers Delight, a track everybody knows. They played with Vernon Reid in Living Colour, in Little Axe & in loads of other bands.

They've made my day and it makes me almost forget I'm missing the Heartland Winter Olympics in Leeds...

And a guy got killed nearby because he jumped off a cliff into a shallow pond.

Smart move, kids :evil:

Now that sounds like an experience.
I was lucky enough to see Tackhead a couple of times - including Doug Wimbish playing an astonishing bass solo on Hey Joe using a plastic cup.
I'm off to see if they're coming to England.
We forgive as we forget
As the day is long.
