So Belle and Sebastian might be doing a 3rd Bowlie but this time on a fancy cruise ship for megabucks.
They’ve got a survey on the go and all: BELLE AND SEBASTIAN CRUISE SURVEY
What do we reckon? Interested, couldn’t give a fuck or “why not just book Butlins/Pontins you chumps?”
These kind of cruises seem pretty popular in America - Weezer, Kiss, Paramore, Kid Rock (ffs) have all done them.
Don’t think we’ve got budget enough cruise line in the UK to make the potential cost attractive enough to the average Bowlie weekender attendee - looking at the proposed prices, £2000 for a four day holiday with the added novelty of B&S playing doesn’t sound that appealing to me.
Just filled in the survey. Suggested My Vitriol for a band I’d like to play on the cruise. Said I attended the 1999 Bowlie even though I’m 18-24. How edgy am I?
Yeah, filled in the questionnaire, as I would genuinely be interested in something like this (I went to the original Bowlie), but not at those prices and can it sail from the UK please preferably south coast somewhere?
Put that a Delgados reunion would sell it to me more, but frankly, I’m more likely to see them at the inevitable London date. If it happened.
I think in fairness it might be decent but the prices are crazy and getting to Barcelona first is a bit of a pain in the balls. Looking at the old Bowlie lineups has me pining for a proper ATP successor.
Does Barry operate a cruise ship company now then?
