Whee! It’s working again! Whatever was rendering Blogger unable to publish anything to Dog seems to have gone away. So, Cropredy was, as expected, good. Particular highlights were Richard Thompson and Uiscedwr. Still haven’t sorted out any accommodation for next year in So’ton. Since I still haven’t heard anything, it seems very unlikely that I [...]

Off to Cropredy Festival later today. Some great artists on this year; should be a good one.

Well, I’m now off to Sidmouth for at least the next few days — quite possibly for the whole week.

Damn, I suck. It’s thursday and I still haven’t got around to posting about the weekend. So here goes: I spent last weekend at the second Oxford Folk Festival, which was very good indeed. Saw some very good acts (Those that I actually saw were Show Of Hands, Danú, Juan Martín & Quinteto Fabuloso, The [...]

Right, well, Frank has demanded more posts, and so posts he will get. Anything to put off doing this blasted problem sheet. First up, Cheltenham Folk Festival, the weekend before last. Overall, the Festival was very enjoyable, especially the concerts featuring Bellowhead and Eliza Carthy & The Ratcatchers. Our gig, however, was crap. Jessica and [...]

Got back to So’ton last night, after an excellent weekend. I arrived in Oxford in the late afternoon, and visited the coffee merchant’s in the covered market. I now had some coffee (Guatemalan fair-trade), and so it was worth bringing my coffee maker and coffee jar back with me. Now I can wake myself up [...]

Walking back from the town centre today, I was passing a pub that seems to put on quite a lot of live music, and noticed that, amongst other acts, Nils Lofgren, of Crazy Horse and the E-Street Band, is performing there on the 23rd. Great! No, wait, I’m going back home that weekend, because Jessica [...]

Off to So’ton on Sunday. It’s time I admitted I’m shitting myself, probably more so than the last time I went off to University. Is this a mistake? Have I got myself sorted out enough over the last year? Do I really know what I need to do differently this time, or am I just [...]

I have returned from Norfolk (actually, I returned at about 5.00pm on Friday, but I only just got around to writing about it). Norwich would appear to be a pleasant city. Wandering around it slightly drunk in the early hours of the morning is an activity I would happily recommend to anyone (although the company [...]

This weekend I went to Wallingford Bunkfest, a small folk festival (and also incorporating a beer festival). And, as part of Ducklington Morris, who were dancing on Saturday, I got a performer’s pass, which meant I could get into to any events without paying anything. This, I thought, was unusually generous, particularly since it was [...]
