Situated as we are for Oxegen weekend in the winners' enclosure at Punchestown Racecourse (how appropriate), we often bump into similarly garlanded glitterati.

Being no respector of their right to have a bit of time off, we use such proximity to hound them for a bit of craic, which we then proceed to capture for you on camera.

First up, big proper interviews with Nicky Wire from the Manic Street Preachers, Nathan and Johnny from Snow Patrol and Jez from Doves. When you get a few minutes from these boys you bring the big guns out - Rigsy asks the questions, from solutions for a soaking to the best period in your own band's history to watch them perform.

We got everyone else we wangled a chat with to answer a series of random questions, laminated to protect them against the elements, with the trick being to get through as many as possible in 60 seconds. You understand that time is precious during festival weekends, right? Ok, then... GO!
