The gig

Hello - back in harness.  Feeling better, not 100% but better than I was despite going back to work yesterday, the awful bloody weather (shouldn't moan we need the rain) and the 1 hr delay getting home due to a lightening strike on the overhead gantry just outside St Pancras!

The gig was a success (well I think it was).  The stage was plenty large enough for me although the large groups were a bit cramped on there.  The sound was good with a couple of good sound guys who just efficiently got on with the job and delivered really good results - impressive given the range of groups and solo artists.  Everything was running late - I never really knew why, it was already late when we got there in the middle of the afternoon, due to that I had to cut to a set of about 30mins - I was pleased with how I did that on a personal level, i.e. calmly and evenly.

Luckily the weather held and it was actually sunny for a while, dry throughout but a little chilly.  That might have kept the numbers down but somewhere around 120/150 people were there I'd have thought, which was a small village festival wasn't too shabby.  They broke even which was the main thing so the parish council didn't lose money and made a small profit whilst the community had an enjoyable day.

So here are a couple of photos my son took




I was hoping to post a video but after ages uploading it errored and being nearly 11pm I decided to sort it out another time... watch this space

  1. Bother about the video but such is the way of the internet. Was it quite windy or have you not got a comb? :))

    1. that is my normal look dear boy... it is called "style", not something you've encountered clearly :-) Actually it was a bit windy so that is more the issue

  3. I'm so glad it was a success! Congratulations!

    Also glad you're feeling better. (Lightening strike? Were you close by?)

    1. Just under a mile away - there were two or three big hits close together in the middle of a downpour, I'd expected the computer network or power to fail but didn't

  4. Looks like you all had fun, and that's the main thing...well apart from NOT being hit by a lightning strike.
