Well, what a great weekend! Only rained once so there was no need for wellies, though some still see them as a fashion accessory at festivals - crikey, their feet must have been hot!
Ok so I am deviating from my usual blogging banter but even passionate gardeners have other interests!
So for those interested....Dinosaur Jr were amazing. I have never seen anyone play the bass like Lou Barlow, he was great! Am a bit biased as have been a fan of his for years - Sebadoh and Folk Implosion are/were top bands. And he has lovely hair!!
A 'new to me' musician was Damien Jurado a fantastic singer/songwriter who bantered with the crowd and happened to be very good at it!
Doug Paisley was not to be missed, have seen him at the fest 3 times now. A lovely Canadian with beautiful songs full of feeling and a fellow redhead! If you ever get chance, go see him. I think he has a new album coming out soon.
Theres loads of other entertainment, much of which we missed but we made sure we went along to see Ronan Leonard and his musical quiz Ringo: Music Bingo. Basically its bingo with songs to tick off instead of numbers along with a lot of jokes and banter. Ronan has such a clever way with words, he's a very funny guy. Based in Cork, Ireland, if you get chance go see him do it, you won't be disappointed. Check out his page on Facebook. There, thats enough plugging his stuff!!
So thats that for another year, will be back onto gardening and Dartmoor ramblings asap!
Last night, lying in bed listening to the rain I began to think maybe it's time I should invest in some wellies! Hmmm. Now what colour? :)
ReplyDeletewell, I did see someone wearing wellies that were converse baseball boot lookalikes, including laces! In yellow!! Theres plenty to choose from. I went for the traditional green that look like and infact are wellies!!
