Had a zoom call with JnA in the evening. TnS briefly joined but they were at the All Points East festival. A very lazy day on Tuesday. In the evening we did the quiz at Brewdog. Came last but it was a good quiz. Spent most of Wednesday getting ready for EOTR. Got some cash out for the first time in about 18 months. Everything has been card only. I think Reading Festival was. There's been no mention of that from EOTR though. I guess its because its a bit remote and signals aren't very good. Also got some LFTs from Boots. I did one and was -ve. Met TnS and Keith and Fiona at Amesbury services on the A303 on Thursday and travelled the rest of the way to EOTR together. Fiona had blue hair and Sally had some pink bits. Kevin ,Adrienne and Jamie had got there early and set up their event shelter and saved us spaces. Penno was also there with Matt. Watched Kikagako Moyo and Stereolab  both good. Tom pointed out that KM played in lots of different time signatures, like 5/4 their final number was 3/4. Fine use of the electric sitar. A bit of a throwback. I'd given Stereolab a listen and wasn't too keen but very good live. Had a bit too much beer so woke every 2 hours to go to the loo. Johnny Dillon provided a nice start to the day on Friday with a set of acoustic instrumentals mostly played in a open tuning. Couldn't make out the make of his guitar but sounded great  amplified by a small mic attached to his guitar. Looked like he was playing with his thumb and finger nails. After we went to see a bit of comedy, a chap called Ignacio Lopez, half Welsh half Spanish, very funny taking the piss out of the brits. M stayed for more but I went to see Aoife Nessa Frances. Really liked her, simple, melodic songs with an effective beat provided by a very understated drummer. Apart from that it was just her on electric guitar and a keyboard player who also chipped in with some backing vocals. Then off to see Katy J Pearson. I thought she'd be a bit more folky but she was quite poppy. Good though, got the crowd going. Then watched a bit of Balimaya Project. African like with lots of drums. Didn't really do it for me, a bit too much going on but there was a fine Kora solo. We went to disco bingo after that. The rest of the afternoon and early evening then just kind of drifted away until it was time for Arlo Parks who was excellent and is probably going to be really big. Great songs and a great band with a guitarist who did a couple of nifty solos, he did look a bit like one of the Mario brothers tough. We then watched John Grant, hadn't intended to but we heard him going a sound check and that sounded good. A bit miserable but interesting enough. We then went to see Josie Long but most of her stuff was just a political rant except for her being heckled by sheep. As I was drifting off to sleep I heard some fine fast and furioys guirar playing coming from the tipi tent. It turned out to be Bo Ningen. Sally saw Katy J  Person emerge from Big Jeff's tent on Saturday morning. What's going on there? There was a challenging start to the day musically with Kieron Leonard. I've tried to see him on numerous occasions in the past but it never happened for various reasons. I stuck it out. There were 2 other 'high strung' guitarists, double bass and a cittern player. I met M in the garden stage, she had sneaked off to watch Golden Dregs who she really liked. We listened to a bit of H Hawkline and then M went off to see a film so I watched Modern Nature who were excellent. Sort of slow jazzy songs. Great sound, guitar, keyboard, sax, double bass and drums. After that it got a bit patchy. Anteloper were experimental jazz, a very good drummer and a trumpet player who didn't really play but made noises. Hen Oglegg were kind of electronic folk with an electric harp but it didn't really do it for me. As with Friday the late afternoon and early evening sort of disappeared until it was time for The Comet Is Coming. Full on jazz with sax, keyboard and drums. The drummer did a solo at one point but really he was just doing a solo all the time. Good stuff. We didn't watch the headliners but instead explored the woods and found ourselves on the ferris wheel.
