Acoustic Festival of Britain

Last weekend we got to spend at Uttoxeter Racecourse for the Acoustic Festival of Britain. This was the second year we had been invited to play and when we arrived it almost felt like we had never left. This time round we were joined by friends and fellow Bristol based musicians Bashema, Jodie Stadden and Ria Timkin.

We also managed to beat last years record for tent assembling which turned out to be impeccable timing, as moments later we were caught in the middle of a thunder storm. Just typical that we forgot our raincoats - although sun hats apparently make very effective umbrellas.

After the storm finally eased on Saturday we headed over to the Sessions Beer Tent where we had the pleasure of performing (drumless), and on the following day we played an acoustic set with drums in the Big Top tent (which was completely solar powered!). Thanks to everyone there for listening, buying our music and giving such lovely compliments. It was really nice to share the stage with all our Bristol friends too. They were so amazing.

The rest of the time we got to experience other parts of the festival where we met lots of pirates dressed up for Mark Radcliffe and Galleon Blast's set later on that day, and some rather gothic morris dancers.
