Tenting in the rain with your youngsters...you are a brave man. Looks like it was well worth it, though!

So, I'm curious about this:

I can't remember reading this thread but John did you tell them your name the group gave you?

[OC Richard]

What great photos, what a lovely family you have.

One of my favourite songs of all time is Chumbawamba's amazing acapella version of The Cutty Wren.

Great pictures John! I haven't been to a "camping festival" in at least a decade but only because life has intervened on "fun stuff".

John, you mentioned English performers heavily influenced by bluegrass - have you ever heard of a solo artist Jay McAlistair that goes by the "band name" of Beans On Toast ?

I've been listening to him and learning his songs lately, much of his content is about sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll (probably not altogether proper for a kid-friendly festival) but I appreciate the music - and it is heavily influenced by American folk, such as zydeco, bluegrass, and country. For a snippet (one of the most PG-songs I could find from him) - My New Number One.

Great pics, EB. What a successful weekend too: converted another kilt wearer AND got to perform on stage? Sweet!

Cheers for the pointer Joshua. I'll have a look at those when I get home to a computer that doesn't block yootoob. I've got some more pictures of other bands and acts that performed there which Phil emailed me so I'll tack those onto the thread as well. It'll be a week or so yet though, sorry an' all.

Speaking of washed out music festivals, Have a look at this link There's some crackin' pictures of the Isle of Wight mud-bath.

Mmmm... On 10th July, Chumbawamba, one of the bands featured earlier in this thread, announced they are to split up.

Do you think it was something I said?

I reckon it's just tubthumping John
