I love the Edinburgh festival. It’s amazing.
And there were fireworks too

Don’t go to a huge amount, but a few, and that’s ok.
Edinburgh Festival: The Sign of Four
I do like Sherlock Holmes although I’m no expert on the books. This stage version of the “The Sign of Four” was excellent. Running for just over an hour in what can only be described as a cave off Cowgate with only five actors it was to say the least, inventive.
Whilst the venue was somewhat lacking, even by fringe standards the performances more than made up for this. I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
A day at WOMAD
Main stage
Radio 3 stage
Big red tent
And then the rain
Only for the day
Ticket
I go every year and love WOMAD, but, not in the rain, and this time around it rained and rained and rained. It was a shame as the day had started really well. But by 9pm it was wet, muddy and cold. I hope it’s better next year.

Crystal Palace Beer Festival
I’d never been to this festival before, but it was very good indeed. Well run, good beer, good music, and I think I’ll be going again next year.
A bit live at WOMAD
This is from way back in the summer, but we did manage a couple of songs on one of the open mic stages at WOMAD, which was great fun actually. In fact, we should do it more often I think.
Turing Fest programme
A really good event. Well worth the visit. I think that if I manage to go to Edinburgh for next year’s festival I’ll have to try to get along to more stuff.
GBBF Programme
Another great event to remember from this summer. The GBBF was great fun this year, at least what I can remember of it anyway!
30 years of WOMAD
I sort of wish I hadn’t folded this programme in half, but I did, and I probably won’t keep it. It was one of the best programmes for WOMAD I’ve seen in years.
That’s a hell of a bar
That’s the backstage bar at WOMAD this year. It was one of the best interior’s for the backstage bar I’ve seen and was a great place to hang out in.
Lo’Jo at WOMAD
This was an interesting band that I ended up watching late night at WOMAD. Quite a cool live presence. I’ve located them on spotify now and so I plan to give them a proper listen.
