Podcast 06: Oxegen 2008 special

By Niall Byrne on Tuesday, 15 July 20084 Comments | Print this post

While camped out at Oxegen over the weekend, The State team grabbed a couple of radio presenters and a journalist/blogger to join them in taking stock of the festival thus far. Our discussion took in: Oxegen as the new European festival, the line-up’s good and bad points, someone defending the Counting Crows, why nobody turned up for Richard Hawley, Paul Heaton and Cat Power, Aphex Twin’s mental set on Friday, a look at how the new and Irish bands got on and the inevitable, Amy Winehouse.

Around the Oxegen bench on Sunday @ 6pm we had:

Alison Curtis - Today FM radio presenter every Monday to Thursday from 10.00pm to midnight and Sunday for The Last Splash.

Sinéad Ni Mhorda – Phantom FM Access All Areas presenter.

Una Mullally – Sunday Tribune journalist and blogger UnaRocks.

John Walshe – State editor makes his first appearance on the podcast. Harbours secret Counting Crows obsession.

Phil Udell – State editor and hater of all things Winehouse.

Niall Byrne – Assistant editor and lover of all things obscure. Apparently. Also known as nialler9. Lower-case “n” please.

Good to see James Allan (the mainman from Glasvegas) got into the picture too. Wonder does he carry a comb and a packet of cigarettes rolled up in his t-shirt sleeves.
