You have good ears and recall, Dirty0900! i don't remember any of those snippets being more than a few seconds, enough to hear the beat but no enough to follow the groove!

Haha, i've got it saved on iTunes and had a quick listen before going.

My mobile reception was crap all the way through the festival and i couldnt ring anyone either

Agreed also that I won't be returning to Global Gathering for a third time unless the lineup warrants it. Thoroughly enjoyed the performance, despite the early finish and poorish sound - The Happy Mondays were the highlight of the festival for me, my first time seeing them.
I was glad to meet Matt, who was totally charming, and enjoyed the opportunity to make peace properly with Rog and make an apology for all that's gone before.
2 Many DJs were wicked and amazingly I only heard Mylo from the campsite as the queue to get in was atrocious. A no-show from DJ Yoda was disappointing but during that time I got sold on Cash Money who blew the roof off Afrodizzyscratch. Big surprise of the weekend was Plump DJs, who I went to see after exiting Dave Clarke when the lightshow got a little too intense for where my head was at and hearing this really funky "swing" type stuff coming from the Air arena. Excellent set from Plump DJs and the beginning of a serious checking out to be conducted by me.

Yep! the plump DJ's have been great the two times i've seen them supporting Orbital.

Did anyone find pictures online of the concert? It's strange that there are 100's of pics of the easteuropean gigs and non of the UK gig.

Preposterous queue's on the way in (3hours), ageing, uppity, cyber"kids" moaning the entire weekend about how close our tent was pitched to theirs (party spirit? Yeah, right). Nazi police and nazi security. Over priced everything, even by generic festival standards.

Despite all this, me and my mates salvaged a pretty good weekend out of this. We danced! We laughed! We saw Underworld!

The sound was pretty ropey in places. But to be honest, the only time the boys sound ever appears to be right is if it's only them on the bill.
Any festival appearance I've seen them at has had sound issues.

I won't be rushing to the next Global Gathering, but the 'world (and many others) rocked.
