The press have reported this week that silent disco's are now the in thing Giants Eli Apple Jersey , saying:
'T in the park is to follow the Glastonbury Festival into introducing a 'Silent Disco' this year. So that revellers can party through the night, clubbers at particular stages will be given headphones so they can continue to listen to music at high volume without upsetting the festivals neighbours.' NME Online
Is this the end of the festival as we know it?
For years now festivals have taken place across the world. For some they have proved to be a nuisance but generally only for the minority. For the festival-goer it can be the highlight of the year, with some people taking the whole family year after year, almost as a ritual or rite of passage in some cultures!
With the introduction of silent discos are we changing the social aspect of music and dance? I can't say as I would like to share that magical moment when your favourite band, artist of song plays with a set of headphones!
I agree that it will reduce the noise level and nuisance to neighbours and enable the festivals to play later into the night but it does trouble me to think that the whole of western culture is now becoming so 'solo'. With so many social activities now becoming available on the Internet, will our social skills gradually waste away?
There is of course a good balance to be had with Internet entertainment and face-to-face, human contact Giants Wayne Gallman Jersey , leisure pursuits.
Let's make sure that balance remains.
And what better than hearing the music you're passionate about drifting across the warm summer fields!

Helen Smith is the webmaster of two websites. and This year marks the 15th anniversary of one of Ireland’s leading wholesalers – Naas-based Eirflowers. Here, we find out more about the business and talk to the company’s John Hamilton and Liam Mulread to discover the secrets of success that have taken the business forward over the years.
Since opening for business back in 1997, Eirflowers has come a long way. From humble beginnings, the company has grown into one of Ireland’s leading wholesale suppliers of fresh flowers, plants Giants Davis Webb Jersey , florist sundries and gift packaging, operating from a 20,000 square foot purpose-built cash and carry on the outskirts of the well-located town of Naas.
It may be an old cliché, but Eirflowers is most definitely a one-stop shop, with pretty much everything a florist could need under one roof. It’s a pleasant place to be too, with plenty of space to shop, refreshments on tap and free parking Giants Dalvin Tomlinson Jersey , not to mention a strictly adhered to trade only policy that of course is hugely important to their customers.
Talking of flowers, Eirflowers carries an impressive stock, which comes in directly from Holland several times a week, great news for florists who no longer wish to carry large stocks of flowers and instead prefer to top up on a daily basis. You could say they carry the stock so florists don’t need to.
John says: “We work with several suppliers to gain competitive pricing and keener margins during these tough economic times and if we have a ‘big customer’ ordering sufficient quantities we will work on prices. Almost to the point that I feel we’re giving away the flowers!”
An added benefit is that, because we buy both directly from growers in Holland and via the Dutch auctions, Eirflowers offers more special offer ‘Star Buys’ than you would perhaps get via a pre-order Dutch service.
One area of business that’s hugely important to Eirflowers is wedding work. Special wedding orders can be specifically placed with Holland, which will arrive specifically packaged for the customer ready for delivery.
Liam comments: “Even customers who don’t normally use us will pop in to get their wedding flowers. Brides want specific colours Giants Evan Engram Jersey , so florists love to touch and feel the flowers and see the quality for themselves. Only cash and carries make this possible.”
Moving on to plants, Eirflowers stock a range of plants suited to the needs of florists. Ranging from bedding plants to exotic plants, bulbs, small trees and seasonal arrangements, sourced from both Dutch and Irish Suppliers, there is a mass of choice.
On the floral sundries and gift packaging side, florists will find all they need at Eirflowers. Over 2000 products are stocked Giants Will Hernandez Jersey , including baskets, glassware, candles, floral foam, ribbons, packaging, artificial flowers Giants Eli Manning Jersey , wedding products, memorial items, seasonal items and much more. Once again, price is key, with sundries sourced from a range of suppliers in order to obtain a varied product range at a competitive price. Oasis Floral Products, Apac Packaging, CB Imports Giants Lawrence Taylor Jersey , Val Spicer, Roast and Swift Imports are just some the brand names stocked. What’s more, Eirflowers have been chosen by Oasis to be their designated Design Depot for Ireland.
Eirflowers recently launched a new e-commerce enabled website, primarily to showcase their sundries and gift packaging products.
With convenience key, it’s no surprise to hear that Eirflowers offers a choice of ordering options – by telephone or fax, online or in person, with the cash and carry open seven days a week from 7am.
For those who can’t make it along every time Giants Odell Beckham Jr Jersey , or those who prefer to order online or over the phone, Eirflowers has its own fleet of trucks that, along with a helpful and reliable courier service, allows free nationwide delivery. A next day service is also available for those last-minute orders.
