Gig report: Fred's House @ Buckfest, Buckden

Band: Fred's House
Venue: Buckfest, Buckden

Date: 13/07/13
Audience: Busy - capacity full
Set: Looking Glass, I'm Not Saying, Wrong Time, Face In The Water, Take A Ride, Fine Life, Marathon Man, Beautiful You
Notes: Fresh (okay, sweaty) from the last gig - I found time in between the shows grab a quick summer drink on Parker's Piece with Julia (who is about to move to Australia, we discussed the idea of me bringing a show out there next year) - our drink cut somewhat rudely short by the fact my parents had locked themselves out so I had to go back to the family home. Still, it's quite near Buckden, where the second gig of the day was. A small, well-run festival, with a capacity of 500 - and they reached that amount so had to turn people away. One or two sound problems, possibly because they didn't expect us to have full drums, and a very small stage, but really enthusiastic audience - Fred's House seem to attract enthusiasm wherever they go. Played quite well, everyone came away in a good, if tired, mood. Really great to catch up with my old mucker Rob, back in the country for a week, the man is the definition of legend.
