Hylands Park Chelmsford

Wife was at this one, I was not. The Lightning Seeds, The Charlatans, Sleeper, Shed 7 and Paul Weller.

Seen more of a lineup now, I think this was all the bands I saw this year!

Pulp, Paul Weller, Supergrass, The Charlatans, Cast, Lightning Seeds, Gary Numan, Shed Seven, Stereolab, Incognito, Jonathan Richman, The Mike Flowers Pops, Longpigs

Elastica, Sleeper, Heavy Stereo, Menswear, Fluffy, The Cardigans, Super Furry Animals, The Wannadies, Denim, Kula Shaker, Gorkys Zygotic Mynci, Space, Tiger, Pusherman

An early version of what became V Festival I think. Melody Maker says it actually is V Festival, what is going on? Was it a Paul Weller show that got merged into V Festival? Or were they two different events? Pulp played the day before.

I wasn't at this one afaik, so if I keep tabs on things I was not at it helps figure out out I was at.

I have seen Charlatans at least on three occasions; Essential Music Festival @ Stanmer Park ('95), Glastonbury (1995), + London Astoria (2002), though I still have some bragging tagging to do so this may go up.
