Red Red Rose/3am Eternal/Call me Al. Hope and Social live at Deershed 2011

Mark at Great North Strum got some great footage of Hope and Social at the festival. I only saw a couple of bands as I was buzzing around like a blue arsed fly, but Go Team, Frankie and the Heart Strings and Admiral Fallow were my top picks alongside these guys. Thanks Mark.

The Deer Shed Calls

Posting might get few and far between in the next week or so as I'm working over at the Deer Shed Festival.

It's the second year and its doubled in size  since last time around - 5,000 happy campers we hope.

So unless I see you in a field in Yorkshire... here's some Go Team! so you know what you are missing.

The Last Post (till after me hols!)

This is the last post about the festival - promise! and the last post till I get back from my hols see you in August. It's a brilliant bit of time lapse film that captures the whole day.

The Wedding Present Deer Shed 2010

Still finding footage of the festival on You Tube and this is a slightly more coherent version of the video I took on my phone.

Justin Adams and Juldeh Camara Deer Shed 2010

Loved these guys at the festival and had lovely chat backstage with Mim Suleiman who provided the best dancing of the day, as well as some fantastic backing vocals - gorgeous.

The Glendale Family at the Deer Shed Festival 2010

These guys where one of my festival favorites they must have played four or five sets at different times, some planned some not. They had an infectious sense of fun and just wanted to play music - admirable! They'll be out and about at various festivals this summer. http://www.myspace.com/theglendalefamily

Thanks to Mark and Louise from The Great North Strum for the video

The Alice Charmers live at the Deer Shed Festival 2010

It's been a long time coming but finally it's here, our first proper gig. Originally the Busk Stop started out as an idea for an acoustic pitch with a bus stop sign and a upturned beer crate for a stage, but the queue of bands that couldn't make got so long that it became a third stage which hosted a mix of amateurs and professionals. As Carl and Mark Charmers where MCing we felt we should take the honour and get on (and off) first. I was shi*ing myself but once we got going I relaxed and even started to enjoy it!
All we need to do now is practice so that the audience can as well. The only big disappointment was that Alice didn't make it to the gig.
