j_b Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I think main stage was supplied by Serious Stages (www.stages.co.uk) in Somerset. Certainly, the guys doing it were from Shepton Mallet, and they orbit was of the type of construction that Serious use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Minor nit-pick: stage 3 was SUSU (Southampton), not USSU. Although it didn't say that anywhere: USSU and SUSU usually share kit and people, which leads to some confusion :P. I was there on the Saturday (I live just down the road). and it all seemed pretty well done (the fact that I am/was a student at Southampton has no bearing on the situation whatsoever - seriously I didn't see any bands on their stage anyway). Lots of D&B kit and Midases for some reason. The main stage sound seemed rather harsh on the treble, but it seems I've been saying that a lot these days...

j_b Posted July 20, 2005 Share Posted July 20, 2005 of course, it would depend who you were speaking with as to which numbers each of the stages were represented by. The Uncut Stage, was nearly always referred to all weekend as Stage 2, and things were pretty uncomplicated in that department, and as mentioned above, full technical support, was provided by USSU. As for the other two stages discussed - the LiveClub Stages: The Andertons Stage and the Surrey Advertiser Stage , took on different numberings depending on which day it was, and who you were speaking with at the time. They began life as 3A and 3B respectively, but migrated to being known to some as Stages 4 and 5 ( or possible 5 and 6) by the end of the weekend, were both provided by USSU, but the higher numbered stage in each counting system, i.e. the Surrey Advertiser Stage had most of the sound system and help from a few of the soton lads (SUSU).
