Well, that was a hot hot hot one! Managed one wander around the village on Thursday, but apart from that I was under my brolly on the field with several litres of water to keep me company. Highlights for me were:
Barbara - young band, very charismatic lead singer, and great songs that were a cross between Sparks and Divine Comedy
Rob Jones & The Restless Dream - cinematic America à la Springsteen
Richard Thompson - I’ve felt his last few albums were a little flat, but the songs from his forthcoming album sounded excellent
There was no one that I didn’t like, although Soft Machine aren’t really my bag.
£4 veggie burger at the cricket club with cheese and onions was great value, as was the Smac stall at £5.
The rumours around the field that Dave Gilmour was going to appear didn’t materialise, but Vikki Clayton back on stage.
There's a couple of photos circulating on FB of Mr Gilmour watching his daughter's set from the side of the stage, so he was there, but the Radio Oxford presenter told us that he was chauffered pretty much straight in and out again...
