Acoustic Solstice
A great all-day event, with three stages going on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year so far…
Hosted and organised by Pete Long, who does the Acoustic Circus open mics on Sundays, it had a great atmosphere with a pretty full pub, and plenty of drinks flowing!
My set began around 6:30 in the end, a little later than scheduled, and though we had a few feedback issues to begin with, and lost most of the impact of the first song, Audacity, the rest of the set went down ok I think. With the temperature at 34 degrees outside, and even hotter inside, for the blokes, shorts and T-shirt was the only way to perform without melting!
Thanks to Andrew, who watched on and lent a hand on the mixing desk when the guitar started to feedback, and got me sorted for the rest of my set. Once my set was done, we walked through to the main bar stage where firstly Francesca “Frankie” Turton was playing her songs, and straight after that, Zoe Beech. Great to see two other 360 acts gaining more strength with their songs.
