Listening to Beth Orton at 10pm…
The second day of the Moseley Folk Festival was a lot more social for me. Fi got a Saturday ticket and I had one of those occasions where I couldn’t turn around without seeing someone I knew, or kinda knew, or just recognised, so the music took a bit of a back seat.
But that’s fine as I don’t really go to MFF for the music, more for the ambiance it creates. Vetiver were good but I’d seen them at the Hare and Hounds a few months ago so knew what to expect. And it was good to catch Samuel Walter again. He’s volunteering at the festival on rubbish collection and jumps onto the Bohemian Jukebox stage inbetween acts, but he’s up there as one of my highlights. He really needs a slot on one of the big stages next year. Seriously. The few people who’ve been lucky to stumble upon him has been entranced.
But other than that it’s been a case of mooching around eating food, drinking tea and cider, chatting and having a lovely day. Lying on the grass watching the stars with Beth Orton doing her thing was a nice finish too.
Oh, two jumpers and a jacket today. Much better.
Back tomorrow for more!
