It was the first time i've been to arundel castle and WOW what an intimate and lovely place for a gig! the whole night was more than excellent, with all the bands being on tip top form, Supergrass were amazing and they're one of those bands who have aged brilliantly and in my humble opinion are better now then when they first hit the scene all those years ago, Double thumbs up from this happy camper, good work fella's :o)

Great athmosphere - shame Lightening Seeds went on for such a long time ... Supergrass might have been able to play their full set if they'd ended a little sooner.

Opening act(s): Idlewild - Better than ever now they are witnessing sobriety, fantastic vocals and a great Indie band Lightning Seeds - The ninties are back, did they ever leave? Ian brodie has still got it, highly underated singer songwriter @

The instant stage presence of Gaz and the boys lifted the atmosphere high above the Arun Valley toward the looming tower of the castle.
Diamond Hoohaa Man filled the air with noise and the earth below with vibration and got the posh pit, sorry, mosh pit moving as one. The early playing of Late in the Day left me wondering what could possible beat that, the answer was-every other song the played. Moving from new to old ,Ghost of a Friend and Strange ones stand out amongst the rest and a great elongated version of Moving got the whole crowd "moving" to their token commersial big hit. Mix to all that Richard theThird, Sun Hits The Sky and Pumping on Your Stereo and the best live band around entertained a mixed croud better than you could hope for.
Time was limited however and went quick as the boys were having fun, as were Danny's lads to the left of stage dancing like we all wish we still could (loons). A perfect advert for the diverse fan base of this Oxford born band. Gaz begged and borrowed for more time to please his ordience and was given enough to come back and cap the gig with Caught by the Fuzz.
A fantastic finale to a fantastic evening, the tightest set I've seen yet and I can't wait for them to tour again.

The evening was set up beautifully - in the grounds of Arundle Castle, sun going down, Friday night beer flowing (though, inexplicably, there was only one beer tent to serve about 3000 people, meaning half-hour queues and tantrums galore), great sound.

Idlewild set tone for the night, drawing on the more 'radio friendly' songs from their extensive catalogue. This was not a night for boundary-pushing or overly rock 'n roll antics; this was a night of crowd-pleasers, breezy tunes and catering to an audience who may or may not have heard the 'singles'. While largely inoffensive (remember that Idlewild were touted as the 'next Nirvana' when they first came out 10 years ago), Idlewild's tunes were unanimously brilliant. Every song was laden with gorgeous harmonies, poignent lyrics and hooks galore. It was just a shame that most of the crowd didn't arrive until the next was nearly over.

The less said about the Lightning Seeds, the better. The absolute definition of Bland, Ian Brody & Co played plod-by-numbers indie-pop that made us remember exactly why their legacy has amounted to being used as background music in Morrisons.

Supergrass, on the other hand, were a far more interesting proposition. Would they go for the crowd-pleasers like Alright, Lenny and Going Out, or settle for the more testing and impenetrable 70's-tinged numbers from the last couple of albums? In the end there was a healthy mixture of both. The huge singalongs of Pumping on your Stereo, Sun Hits The Sky and Moving were superb, while the more playful gems from I Should Coco (particularly Stange Ones) caused the biggest stir with the Supergrass faithful. Admittedly, the momentum did dip when they explored some of the 'newies', and there were persistent sound troubles (which was odd, as the sound had been impeccable for the first two bands), but overall it was a fun, summery collection, ending with a riotous Caught by the Fuzz, by far the least 'safe' moment of the night and a genuine release.

But what happened with all the beer?! Friday nights just shouldn't be that sober.

An audience of all ages attended to see Supergrass, the Lightning Seeds, and Idlewild. I peresonaly attended for one reason only "Supergrass", and they didn't dissapoint. Supergrass belted out a few songs from their latest album and some of their classics. Gaz's vocals clear and powerfull oozing with retro class, showing ounce again what a natural on the guitar he is and the rest of the band followed with equal style. The venue was great too. I will be attending more events held at Arundel Castle. Plenty of room for standing and seating (as long as you don't mind sitting on the grass or the banks of the castle).

Okay, so my tragic pun didn't put you off. We were blown away by this gig. I've seen plenty of quality sets in the last few years but Supergrass win hands down. I was not particularly a fan but knew to expect great things from what I've seen of their live performances on TV. I was totally won over. They moved seamlessly from rock to fun to heartwrenching and back to rock showing their skill and years of experience in a tight, without being overly slick, set.

With six albums to draw from, they could easily have relied on a greatest hits set but instead mixed hits and more obscure but equally great album tracks. I loved every second of every song whether I knew them or not and the gorgeous grounds and uplit castle made for a wonderful and surprisingly intimate feel for an outdoor gig. They got the okay for one encore which I guess explains the lack of fireworks at the end (no noise after 11). I'll take Caught by the Fuzz live over fireworks any day.

As for the opening acts, they all pleasantly surprised me. Iron Jack seem intent on doing their own thing - sparks of originality there. Idlewild were a touch of class - laid back modest interactions best suited to the small crowd that had gathered near the front but belying their quality sound. The Lightning Seeds did basically the Greatest hits with some twists which was probably good judgement for second billing. The cheery, well-known tunes were good background music for the rugs and chairs brigade in the higher tier (a perfect 3-4ft higher than the lower lawns and sloping upwards and away) and got the standers (comfortably grouped on the lower lawns)bopping and singing along .

All in all a great gig. I'm still smiling 2 days later. I'd definitely see Supergrass again and will be looking out for other gigs at this great location:0)

This band are simply not to be missed, quality from start to finish. I think they would have stayed all night and entertained the crowd if it was possible . unfortunately they were ushered off the stage by a jobs worth moaning that they had run out of time. good for them for telling him what to do and coming back even if it was briefly.
