Gig report: Fred's House @ The Willow Festival, Peterborough

Band: Fred's House
Venue: The Willow Festival, Peterborough

Date: 13/07/13
Audience: Busy, relaxed
Set: Looking Glass, I'm Not Saying, Wrong Time, Face In The Water, Take A Ride, Fine Life, Too Late To Go Home, Beautiful You
Notes: My second gig with Fred's House, and at a festival I haven't played at for ten years. It's changed a lot since then - it's grown into something rather wonderful, which it certainly wasn't all those years ago. Big stage, outstanding soundmen - and brilliantly organised, we were looked after so well, and having a 40 minute changeover/soundcheck at a busy festival is practically unheard of. The only problem we had was the heat - it felt like it was the hottest day of the year, we all seemed to be practically giddy with the humidity. That seemed to reflect on the audience too, for, although there was plenty of them, you couldn't help but notice the summer drowsiness. Still, played really well and the response was fantastic all the same.
