Got a chance to see Seasick Steve again today. He was very good. I like his homemade instruments. The man is a legend.
I wanted to watch Crowded House, so I did. They were very good, but unfortunately they were immediately followed by James Blunt and I didn't leave the field in time. However, I did manage to get into another field and hook up with a couple of friends and have some drinksies. This made the afternoon fly by.
Amy Winehouse came along in the evening a little more drunk than I. She was very funny, but overall, I think she may have been too drunk to declare her performance anything other than a sad waste of her and her band's talent. Having said that, she managed to belt out some good singing, despite being fairly out of control. So, if she had been straight...
We skipped Jay Z - mainly to avoid his fans being dicks near us - and headed straight for Biffy Cliro - a rather hair-farmy sort of band who were really not our scene... but they were good. So why not. The techies played a game of "yay/boo" with us by switching the stage video link to show Jay Z before Biffy started. We booed. Then they switched to the blank stage in our tent. So we cheered. Then boo, then cheer... and so on. Oooh the hilarity.
It was fun.
Somewhere along the day I got a sunburn.
