Gig report: Flaming June @ Folk On The Water Festival, Rugby

Band: Flaming June
Venue: Folk On The Water Festival, Rugby

Notes: The third Flaming June gig of the week (and my fourth consecutive show) and a trip to Rugby to play at the Folk On The Water festival. It's basically a festival next to a river, where people are encouraged to get the boat in and watch the live music. The actual gig room was tiny, but absolutely packed - we were treated ever so well this evening by the lovely promoters who genuinely appreciated us being there. Played this as a duo (Louise and myself) but made up for it by playing harder, and louder, and although it may have taken a couple songs to win them over we certainly did so, by the end we were flying, the room so busy people had to look in through the doorway. A hot and sweaty gig, the kind of gig that you enjoy so much you feel a little drained afterwards, but it was a cracker.
