Underneath the Stars Festival this weekend

[Puce Moment]

Anyone going?

Billy Bragg, Unthanks, Kate Rusby etc. A folky, uncorporate festival with tons of acoustic performances and a very relaxed atmos. Hot free showers and clean places for poos and wees

I haven't been to a festival since 1998.

Be sure to take your own drugs along. Since the darknet dealers don't bother turning up anymore. :(

Trying to work out if the lack of Cabbers at this fest is a good or bad thing. Going to go with the former for now.

I mean, guys - an audience with Ruth Jones?

[pancreas]

Can't go, but I note it's one of Rusby's songs, and would be right up my alley. I really like some of her stuff, particularly The Girl Who Couldn't Fly, which is essentially perfect. Unfortunately her voice isn't what it used to be. Still writes the odd corker, though.

I've seen her live a few times - the last was April this year and I have to say that I have not noticed any issues with her voice. She has altered or softened her cadence from that very folky sound that people seem to acquire when singing folk (the Unthanks and Eliza Carthy have done much the same in my opinion).

The Festival is actually organised by Rusby and her family.
