If there’s one thing that can guarantee it will be bad weather it’s Farmer Phil’s Festival (Ged on moi land!). Given that the BP Cup and the BCC final are also on, the weekend was doomed! We were hopeful that the forecast would hold true and the rain would clear in the afternoon. We managed to get there to see Mark Leavesley’s band The Mouths open the festival. They were unlucky in that it started to bucket down as soon as they started the first song and two of their numbers were interrupted by power cuts. Good set though.

It poured off and on all day, so frequent scuttling into trade tents and under the marquees was required. We ate, drank, danced and made merry and had a nice day. Best band of the day was Elephant Talk, with and amazing singer. Best band of the night was The Amigos, who rocked the place and had everyone dancing at midnight. Geoff wasn’t drinking, so we came home to be able to get a shower and breakfast in the morning before heading out for more groovy music in the rain.
