Pauly ≫ Gigography ≫ 1996 ≫ Essential Festival
Stanmer Park 292 Ditchling Road, Brighton, BN1 6JG
Super Furry Animals, Kula Shaker, Menswear, Echobelly, Marion, Chumbawamba, Bis and more... missed David Devant, but I did trek there with 16 people in my bus.
I was at this one, more from this year in my gigography for 1996. I saw Super Furry Animals probably 18 times; Essential Festival @ Stanmer Park ('96), Portsmouth Wedgewood Rooms (1996), Phoenix Festival @ Avon Park Raceway ('96), Reading Festival (1996), Mean Fiddler (1996), Manic Street Preachers @ Brixton Academy (1996), Astoria ('97), Glastonbury (1997), Shepherds Bush Empire (1998), Astoria ('99), Glastonbury (1999), Brixton Academy ('99), Reading Festival ('00), Forum ('01), Ocean ('02), New Order @ Finsbury Park ('02), Stephen Malkmus @ Royal Festival Hall (2003), + Glastonbury (2003). Part of every gig I was at from 1987 to 2024. An obvious step from my Best Gigs Ever blog post. Yeah I know it's very geeky, let's let that go though, I'm enjoying reminiscing about this stuff.
