Ah, Carnival season is upon us once again, and this year we were lucky enough to take the show to Hathersage in the Peak District, a very nice village.
There were all the usual fun and games of a village fete and a wonderful Gala Marquee, most important as that's where the beer was ;-) and at the other end was to gloriously large stage.
Symon, our drummer, had already been and set up the lighting rig during the week so we just had to fill it with instruments and microphones... which when you have two bands can take some time.
8pm rolled around and the hogroast got started and the great and the good of the village came in their droves, and they were ready to party!
We kicked off at around 8.30pm and between us, Rio Five and All Fired Up kept them singing and dancing until midnight, not that they wanted us to stop but after 12 hours at it we were tired bunnies, so we just had to pack it all down and load it all back into cars and get home... we finally left at about 2am. At least the gear comes down more quickly than it goes up.
Hopefully we'll get some good pictures from the gig and i'll get them added as soon as.
Thank-you Hathersage for a marvellous day and, who knows, we might come back and see you next year.
