Late Replacement
I popped out for lunch on Saturday, at the Queens very nice, and subsequently found myself at the Bay Festival. I was initially surprised by this turn of events. I didn't have a coat with me and I was wearing new shoes. Steel toecapped Doc Martens; which are bang on trend. After Divercity and DJ Inronkic passed me by in a haze of indifference things started to pick up. The Coronas, not named after a long forgotten brand of lemonade, played well but weren't really my cup of tea. Not enough power chords but they went down well with the rest of the crowd so what do I know? Sets from The Feeling, including a Buggles cover and Calvin Harris raised the tempo and were more to my liking. The Feeling even managed to get their guitars screaming and Mr Harris was most insistent that we showed him our hands. This proved difficult while clutching a pint pot.
The headline act was Spandau Ballet and to cut a long story short I got the impression they were just going through the motions but after 30 odd years in the business and having played, no doubt, some of the biggest venues a tent in Nobles Park might be a slight come down. They were well received by the crowd though.
I finished the night off with a very brisk walk home as the wind had picked up and I hadn't got round to getting a JLS hoody.
