Sunday, somewhere in England

So the festival season has started and it hasn't rained yet. We're at Off The Tracks Festival in Derbyshire, wishing the motorbike racing just over the fence from the festival site didn't have to start at 9am.

I had a great gig last night, fantastic crowd here as ever who were well warmed up by Transglobal Underground who played before me. The night before we were at Knockengorroch in Scotland, another fantastic little festival which has the major benefit of being out in the wlderness rather than next to a race track (although the hotel we were in for the night was equally unpleasant to wake up to), so having a great weekend. And in sun a lot of the time too, excellent.

The only downside of all this is the mileage we're driving, I think we've done about 750 miles already since thursday and we have the joy of bank holiday weekend traffic to wade through on the way home today. Still, great to back at festis again, let's hope for a long, dry summer.
