A bit squiffy and nostalgic. That pic takes me back to many an English festie. Reminded me of Country Life about 10 years back. Nancy doing the morning shift, awoken by fleet foxes mykonos

Reckon it was about 10% blokes, if you take the dads with young daughters out maybe a lot less. The two girls behind us, maybe 11 and 7, screamed most of the way through and sang everything, in tears, the whole lot. Good luck to them, they were having the night of their lives - as were loads of others.
Was a great gig overall, even though I’m not a super fan, went to the bar/loo/merch during the folklore section. Started at 6:30 and finished just before 10, some stint…

One of the most enjoyable two hours of my DJing escapes was closing the Sunday of the second Country Life.

Was so good. Went to 3 back to back so they inevitably all blur now
Vaguely remember one of you playing a blissful beatless remix of “Love Comes Quickly” + Twin Sister “up and away we go”

Tried to post a video of the blokes with the stand up piano doing a chaz n Dave style version of No No Limits. But it won’t let me post it for some reason. Funny times. Mind you that walk up to the tent got pretty tricky later on….

Such good parties. I had an ace time too. Would love it if Bill & Frank ran another one.

this will probably read more like a brag than anything else, but whatevs.
spent the last three days in the forest of the idaho panhandle. my ex (whom i’m obviously on good terms with) married a guy who is more than a little wealthy, and he built his dream retreat on a large chunk of land near the priest river inna luxury style, all mod cons.
a small group - friends and family that go back 30+ years, went up to celebrate my ex’s 50th. loads of great food, great “festivities” (IYKYK), and great music. i watched a moose and her baby traverse the river. i saw millions of stars. i watched a massive storm come through that rained and hailed and thundered and lightning’d so hard on the metal roof that we couldn’t hear each other talk. nineteen year old me could have never imagined that 50 year old me could experience such a thing.
this area of idaho is fuckin’ rural - and i have a fear of the red states. the panhandle is famous for all the wrong reasons. but as a born & bred PNWer - among all these trees, mountains and water, i’ve rarely felt more at home.
in the pitch black, among the stars, i broke out a few tracks that fucking slayed. perfect moments.
