Yep, that’s what I’ve been drinking and it’s lovely
If you’re wondering what that is, it’s Apple and cinnamon. They served this at what used to be the tiny tea tent, and is now ‘Mr T’s’. A bit of a shame, I thought that the tiny tea tent sounded better, but never mind. It’s still an awesome drink.
Going under the bridge
On the way to Wales under a grim and foreboding sky.
Amazing what people make
Something from Beyond The Border. I saw this in the blue garden this weekend. Beautiful. But then, that’s what you expect form Beyond the Border. So glad I went this year again.
Been to Beyond the Border
Once again it was Beyond the Border this year. The international Storytelling festival in Wales. Another good one too. I really enjoyed it. I’ll be posting some more pictures and memories of this year’s festival soon enough.
Looking forward to Field Day
I’m off to the Field Day festival for the day on Saturday. Most of all I’m looking forward to seeing Fennesz and Laurel Halo, but I’m also quite open to whatever else I might hear. It’s quite nice to go along to events like this one and just seeing some new music and having a nice day out.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
A couple of pictures of Ravensbourne College
This was the location for the Music Tech Fest event I went to on Saturday. It really is a lovely building, and I bet it is an excellent environment for teaching and learning.
The Veteran Programme
Ok, my last post about the veteran car rally for this year anyway. I’ve never had a programme from the rally before, so it was great to get one this year after so many years of watching the event.
The Scott Monument
I climbed the Scott Monument on my last day in Edinburgh. The last time I was in the city it wasn’t open to the public. Although that was a long time ago now.
I’m glad I did it. It was certainly an experience, but not for everyone I shouldn’t think, and certainly not in very heavy wind and rain.
And some more about the Ethometric Museum
This is the little pamphlet that was given out at the beginning of the show. Awesome.
Ethometric Museum
These are instruments from a show that I saw at the Edinburgh Festival last month. It was one of the best things I’ve seen. I’ll be explaining more soon.
The summer in programmes and catalogues (2)
Another routine stop in the summer schedule. The GBBF is a must every year, and always has plenty to enjoy. From some excellent food and music, to beer, and more beer, and then some more beer!
You might see a pattern emerging here …
Sutton Environmental Fair
I thought I’d posted about this before, and whilst clearing a load of magazines and paperwork I came across the programme.
I went to the Environmental fair at the end of August. I hadn’t been to it in a while, but it was just as good as I remembered. The fair is a relatively small event, but it is a local event and has a real character to it, which it hasn’t lost at all.
There were 3 stages and some really interesting acts played, from the larger traditional band type format, to solo musicians and people doing some fairly experimental stuff for a local event.
I was so glad that I went to this fair, it always feels good to support local events and the stages were all powered by solar energy too. I don’t think many events can make that claim.
I’ll have to make sure it is in my diary again for 2011.
Bro Ar Men at Beyond the Border
I saw this band at Beyond the Border in the summer, and I really enjoyed them a lot. The guy playing the Mbira was a real character and really funny. He was also a great Mbira player amongst other instruments he played.
I wish I’d got their CD now.
