Came back from a wicked Grassroots last weekend, which in spite of being incredibly wet was great fun thanks to the good music and John Litchfields policy of forcing anyone he had a conversation with to down a shot of tequila.
We met lots of great people at the Festival and our thanks first and foremost go to Benny for doing sound for us. The Folkwit Record crowd were also great to meet. Musically, my fave find were The Surgons, but there was so much good stuff on. On the Troubadour Stage there was everything from the esoterically happy Rebecca Clamp to Irene Rae's beautiful tunes.
On the Freedom stage, Opaque ruled as ever, and the (last ever?) performance of Point of Origin was great to catch as well. At least we can stop being put opposite them on schedules at Peterborough based events now! The Winter Kings also had a great set played to a largely empty lunchtime audience, but that didn't stop them rocking out!
Photos here, but none of us playing, alas.
