I just typed a massive review of Bara, it was ace. Then it dissapeared.

Never mind, the pictures are HERE. I've got some more from that pub we were all in, but nothing to write home about so I've not uploaded them.

Here are the highlights:

Ally and Shug tuck into their second quarter pint of shrinking juice.

Always alert, JG is first to spot the band.

Pompey initially fails to recognise them.

As Al enjoys his first beer of the day (it's 12:01), Wolfram gives the signal to attack. Crikey, says Pompey, isn't that New Order? Leggey takes a short nap. Some Spanish have a bit of a cuddle and laugh.

"Aha - it's Johnny Come Lately" shouts Johnny Come Prematurely *In-Joke alert, sorry*

Despite assistance from everyone else, Manic still hasn't spotted New Order.

The crowd enjoy a game of "look away from the band". Al wins. Nick can't remember the rules. Or the lyrics. Or his name.

Noo Ordah! Noo Ordah (etc)

Mills and Boon moment for Pompey (he married the girl in pink the very next day).

Al muscles in on Pompey - girl in pink is furious.

Don't recognise anyone in this one.

The King of the Vikings! You can see Hooky in this one as well.

Nick sees a ghost. The ghost faints.

Most people face the stage for this one. Carlos waves his fist around.

More 'back to the band' action.

Leggy spots a comedian on one of the other stages.

Somone hears that the bar is closing. Order is temporarily lost.

Confusion reigns - where's the stage gone?

Manic spots New Order - "COO0EE!"

Bonz starts to panic - Al Comforts her by ramming his elbow into her ear. Order is restored.

Halfway across Europe in the baking heat, just to stand with your back to the stage. With you mouth open. What a hero.

Hooky takes a moment to try to work out what's going on. Why is nobody watching his band? Even the cameraman is ignoring them now!

Someone spots a familiar figure - Hey look: it's Barney!

Goodnight, and thankyou!

Great gig, great weekend. Viva Los Vikingos!

90 Mins for THAT?!?!?!? I feel cheated.

A for Effort though!

It was my first time. I was very nervous. Sorry.

If you use that, and your post dissappears, just hit "back" and it will reappear for you to once again hit submit.

What? you think I can type all the shite I spout before the timeout?

Nice pics BTW.

Excellent pictures. Two questions though.

Is Bonz's ear still intact? Did Al cop with the girl in pink? ( If looks could kill)

Concerned of Liverpool.

top captions....

you do have a talent

was that the top of Al's head or someones big knee?

top comments.

I certainly do, don't think that was my cigarette/spliff, though!!

It was a great weekend

Excellent your e-mail prompted me to have a look.

A commentary aways enhances a photo show

Excellent stuff, Col.

Leggy spots a comedian on one of the other stages.

Elbowed in the face by El Jarvo and patted on the head by Ness.

Fairly standard stuff down the front. :)

Don't remember saying that - it was great to meet you both.

I posted a much longer story of my weekend, but took it down because it was too... long. I will email it to you when I get back to work on Friday.
