  • Electric Fields Festival August 2018

    Electric Fields Festival August 2018

    Electric Fields Festival, Drumlanrig Castle, Thornhill, Dumfries & Galloway.

    While we were at 110 Above festival, I had a look to see what else was coming up and found the Electric Fields Festival at Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfries & Galloway and it had three bands that I wanted to see, Ezra Furman, Noel Gallagher and Public Service Broadcasting, so why not go? I discovered that I liked Scottish Hip Hop, Solar Eye / Stanley Odd!

    Stop off on the way up to Scotland, Troutbeck C&MC site.

    Not every festival has an entrance as impressive as this one

  • Looe Music Festival 2017

    Looe Music Festival 2017

    September 2017. On the beach at Looe, music, beer and pasties.

    Friday afternoon, before the music started, I thought that I’d drive to Polperro for an ice cream. It’s a pretty place, but it’s not pretty enough to have to pay £4 to park just to have an ice cream. I drove on. I stopped at Lansallos, walked down to the beach and I was very glad that I did.

    The headline acts weren’t the ones that I would have chosen, but I suppose that I can now say that I’ve seen Lulu, even if it was from a distance as I left.

    On the Monday morning, after the festival, I drove up to the north coast and stayed for a few days at the C&MCC Treamble Valley club site which is 3 miles north of Perranporth.
