O2 arena? Yawn. Brixton Academy? Bit Pokey. No, you can keep them - give us a flatbed truck in a small Dartmoor Town any day. Even a Thursday.
Yep, mid week carnival was the order of the day. The fine folk of Moretonhampstead know exactly what they are doing. The whole town pulls a mutual sickie on the Bank Holiday Friday and gets a 4 day weekend. We like the way you roll!
The gig was a Tones classic. A first half of drinking music, hide under the flatbed for a jazz interlude and strategy session, then a second half of drinking and dancing music. You know the drill. And we'll let you decide which category Whole Lotta Rosie sits in...

Their GCSE results were still warm. And the future leaders of our country were high on their A* results.
Maybe it was us, maybe it was the illicit scrumpy, or maybe something our middle aged minds haven't even heard of. But anything that gets yoof dancing like loons to our modwardian rock and pop extravaganza while dressed as ballerinas and endangered species can frankly only make the world a finer, funner and better place to be. The picture isn't blurred - they actually looked like that.
To the youth of the Moor, we salute you. The future is in safe hands.
