Whilst 200,000 punters were enjoying an almost unheard of dry Glastonbury we were at the equally rain free Let's Rock Exeter for the traditional mix of 80s cheese and class.
The latter came in the shape of a short but stunning set from Thomas Dolby, the always awesome Human League, a splendidly dreadlocked Billy Ocean, a fur coat wearing Betty Boo (seriously...a fur frickin' coat) and a hit packing Belinda Carlisle.
There seemed to be a lot more filler and waiting around this year - why not have a second stage to give punters something else to watch and the crew time to set up without having to shift bands out of the way (as happened with poor Tight Fit)? The new location seemed a little cramped (more punters maybe?) and whoever decided to put all of the toilets at the back of the site deserves to be locked in one for a week. Still just a couple of urinal units for the blokes too? Seriously?! That being said for £30 (if you manage to bag an early bird ticket) you can't go far wrong and if the organisers book Jimmy Somerville, Tom Bailey, Adam Ant and Five Star (hint hint) for 2020 we'll be back.
