Notes: Cracking little festival, that one. On a Bank Holiday Sunday, with a decent BBQ, an enthusiastic crowd, and playing with two bands that I'm really enjoying being the drummer/percussion for at the moment. As you probably know, I'm not normally this optimistic, and it's fair to say that one or two of my projects aren't quite moving in the direction I'd like right now, but this felt like a good one. The festival ran over two stages; one outdoors and one inside, both of my acts played inside and despite the blistering sunshine we had enough people stroll in to make us feel welcome. Flaming June played a rare 'family friendly' set which still offered enough punch to make it feel like a real work out. Trevor Jones - playing as a full band (Trevor, Tony, Ali, me) oozed through a nice set with the odd complex bit, these songs are a joy to play. Enjoyed that one a lot, and agreed to join the lovely Fred's House for some summer festival gigs whilst there too.
