Watchet!
Permalink  
 


Brilliant festival - some good bands and great for people watching.  Some very "interesting" people!  Boomtown Rats seemed to go down a storm - very positive vibes from crowd standing near me smile And the weather stayed dry which was a bonus.  Only negative was being bought a raspberry cider and thinking it would taste just like you get from the supermarket - rather than like a mixture of nail varnish and paint stripper!  But I guess that's Somerset for you! hmm Good to see Wes and Suss too.

The local rag seems suitably impressed by the Rats performance at Ratchet/Watchet. www.somersetcountygazette.co.uk/news/13638254.Bob_Geldof_and_Co_make_Watchet_Music_Festival_a_weekend_to_remembe/

Was a good one indeed; good to see Lisa, Wes and others not on forum. Had to smile when Lisa politely refused to 'muscle in' to where we were. Very considerate.

Heard a few people (staff) say it was first year Watchet had sold out and that was down to Rats appearing. Good to know.

Lovely setting, on top of headland (so good drainage for one) with views over what I assume is Bristol Channel (?) looking at Welsh coastline. Capacity of 4500 was ideal too. Not too small, so good atmosphere generated, but equally not so big that people had to rely solely on screens.

Understandable. I'm always conscious of making others look like amateurs on the dancing front wink

I learned all my moves from Geldof is all I can say...

Thanks mate. I guess the things become more interesting over time, looking back at how band looked, how crowd looked, etc etc. Just keen to capture for benefit of those not there, and for posterity.

Always nice to have personal shots too, despite amateurish nature
