Yes indeed, the Bride rocked, and it was cool to see them on a huge stage at last. The banner-waving fanclub of primary school children were hilarious and quite touching too*. Video footage to go on Youtube soonish. Their proposed acoustic set was cancelled due to their guitars getting knocked about in the van.
The Bikini Beach Band were excellent and I'll make every effort to see them again; I missed The Destroyers by going off to see The Dublo, who were on top form. The barn dance was quite fun, but a bit too chaotic.
On the whole though, I feel the festival is becoming a bit generic these days, and not that local any more. It's still fun, and conveniently not far to stumble home from, but Stokefest is also rapidly losing its connection to where it is held.
The Fringe in August should redress that balance, hopefully.
Shame I missed you, Apophenia.
*MB are so down with the kids. |
