Just turning around mid-gig to watch the crowd put a massive smile on my face. Everyone just having so much fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you manage to get back to Taunton pissed up?! Quite a distance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 V jealous of (and pleased for) all those going to gigs, etc. Want to do something this weekend, but have Farmfest in a week so think I need to be sensible! May scan the listings and try and find something going on outdoors (though the weather doesn't look great!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punksnotdead Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 6 weeks from now I'll be in the queue at End of the Road festival! 🙂 For the first time, I'm feeling genuinely confident that it's going to happen (hope that doesn't jinx it!)

It's in Somerset, yes. On a farm in Bruton. That where you were? Not been to the fest before but have been to Shindig x3 which is on the same site. Think FF may be a bit more sedate though!

Avalon_Fields Posted July 22, 2021 Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 Really enjoyed seeing the documentary film Summer of Soul (Recently rediscovered film of the 1969 Harlem Culture Festival). Standout performances a young Stevie Wonder, amazing talent playing a full on drum solo and keyboards, and Nina Simone, a really powerful presence. Recommended for anyone into soul, blues, gospel and 60s music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyfool01 Posted July 23, 2021 Report Share Posted July 23, 2021 What an odd 24 hours … had the survey back for a house I was buying that caused me to pull out … viewed a place and put an offer in today which was accepted … less chain too which hopefully shouldn’t slow things down … no ping yet from FBS … lateral flows still negative … and I was in the mix !! Fingers crossed 🤞 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
