Music and Mayhem!

It was our last public outdoor engagement of the summer, and it was quite a day out for us all. Despite the early start (now Harry knows there's a 10 o'clock in the morning as well), we were able to mostly get our gear set up before the gates opened at Noon. That's right friends, a daytime session!

The wonderful folk of Culmstock gave us their full attention, at least until the Rounders, Tug o War and Dog Show kicked in. Following our first set, we banded the stage over to the uber-talented Alex Hart, who mercifully wasn't the X-factor winner we'd led everyone to expect.

She had a tough job though, as she was up against Jungle Jim, who is definitely the finest children's comedy ventriloquist that we or any other Modwardian troubadours have shared a bill with. He's brilliant.

With the weather closing in, the crowd found themselves with only one place to go, and our second set saw some spectacularly tasty locals giving it the sort of rain dancing that we haven't seen since last years Winkleigh Fair! Get on you lot!

With the Raffle results taking the wind out of our crescendo, we had to gee the wonderful crowd up all over again, and gee we did - Chelsea Dagger, Delilah and My Generation was enough to blow the clouds away once and for all and send everyone home with a smile on their faces and a spring in their steps!

Thank you Culmstock! Can we come back please?

Love ya!
