Druid Camp 2009ce
Well, that’s Druid Camp over for another year and what an excellent few days it was! If you weren’t there or don’t get to see the Facebook photo’s just remember I’m a very sensible and sober individual who would never do that! Ahem. The picture is shot with my nice new Canon 10-22 wide angle…

Graffitti Classics at Charfield Memorial Hall!
What an excellent evening, and we had only yards to walk home afterward! If you get the opportunity to see the Graffitti Classics perform their slap-stick repertoire do grab a good seat. The YouTube clip below doesn’t convey sufficiently what a huge grin and belly laugh their performance is. Certainly it isn’t the sort of…

Druid Camp 08
Just back from this year’s Druid Camp. After only five days in a field I can’t get over the feeling that the house feels enclosing and dark! I found myself putting all the lights on as I walked around the place unpacking, where I would have been perfectly fine with the evening twilight before – it’s…

Don’t say it… I know.
I’m a very naughty boy. 🙂 Promise I won’t buy anything at Priddy Folk Festival this weekend. It’s an NS WAV electric double bass in Amber Sunburst and it’s… well it’s rather lovely. Plugged into the Line 6 Low Down it sounds pretty double bass-like, although I have to keep it down a bit or…

Robin Trower at the Thekla, Bristol
…and I was late, and rushed into Bristol, and clean forgot my ear plugs. lol I wasn’t too late, but at 19:15 last night I was considering throwing a dirty look at the ironing board when I remembered I was due to meet my brother in law in a pub for one good pint prior…

I love the Interwebthingie…
The stuff you find out there… some of it is really cool. Some of it is really awful (like, perhaps, much of this blog). And some of it simply exists to bite you later in life, and remind you that The Internet Remembers.

Pianos and blackbirds
I’ve just hauled the piano out of the garage, where it’s been laid up for some years, and put it in the lounge. Out of tune and dusty as it is right now, miss couldn’t keep her hands off it and the house resounds to runs of wonderful if slightly hesitant “chopsticks”! It’s remarkable how…

I’ve been a baaaaad boy!
Oh, instant gratification, such a vile affliction! We went up to Chester on Friday evening to spend the weekend with friends, and decided after Sunday breakfast to walk the city walls. This lead almost inevitably to the lads and lasses splitting up; the lasses going shopping, and the lads going… er, shopping – but in…

Seasick Steve – Anson Rooms, Bristol
If you ever want to feel old, go to a gig at a student’s union venue! Last night we went with friends to see Seasick Steve, at the Anson Rooms, at Bristol University. Seasick Steve, or Steve Wold, is a bearded dungaree’d ex-hobo blues man with more enthusiasm than finesse and tales of waking up…

Rachel Unthank and the Winterset: St George’s Bristol
I think we bumped into Rachel Unthank and the Winterset at Bromyard last year. I wasn’t overwhelmed by them at the time, perhaps it was the beer… However, Miss bought their debut CD and I ended up with it locked into my car stereo for months! It was with some anticipation then that I bought…
