…is that you get to go to festivals for free. Yes, I’ve finally got around to posting about O.F.F. two-and-a-half weeks after it actually happened. Friday night, saw wRants, Sue Brown & Lorraine Irwing, John Thompson and Short Drag Roger, all of whom were enjoyable but none of whom stood out as particularly outstanding. Then [...]

OFF Website
13 January 2006, 1:09 pm
I see they’ve used the same picture of us as last year for the Oxford Folk Festival Website (a photo that was taken at OFF the year before last, in fact). Fair enough, it is a good pic, although it’s slightly misleading since that’s the only gig we’ve done where Jessica danced as well as [...]

Pumping and Squeezing my Organ
14 December 2005, 12:59 pm
A marvellous weekend, I feel. Headed back to Oxford on Friday, where Jessica and I were playing at the Oxford Folk Club. Our first gig as the main attraction. I thought it went very well. Sure, there were mistakes, and Jessica was less pleased than I was, but I felt that it was probably the [...]

New Tune
5 June 2005, 7:13 pm
Wheeee! I’ve written a new tune! This is something I manage to do every two years or so, on average. So I’m quite pleased with myself at the moment. I’m also pleased because the idea I had for cooking the sausages I got yesterday (fried in a simple tomato sauce) turned out to be delicious. [...]

Oxford Folk Festival
19 May 2005, 12:52 pm
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 [...]
Hastings

Hmm. I’ve been back for two days and I still haven’t posted about Hastings Jack-In-The-Green. Well, err, it was great as ever. Lots of good music and morris dancing. Excellent weather. A great weekend. Of course, it meant that I didn’t have time over the weekend to get my (already overdue) mini-project done, but never [...]

Hey, cool, we’ve been added to the artists page for Oxford Folk Festival. We’re fairly near the bottom. I do not know those lunatics fourth from the bottom of the page.
Cheltenham, East Anglia and railways
24 February 2005, 12:25 am
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 [...]

Good Weekend
25 October 2004, 9:54 pm
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 [...]
