Towersey Village Festival 2007

Towersey was great fun, especially Monday night, when I got dressed up in my pink shirt, glowsticks and home-made shirts for Tickled Pink, and got some of the best ceilidh dancing of the weekend in. Great, sweaty fun, a fantastic band, and a whole room of people determined to get as much fun out of every dance as possible. Other highlights were Hotel Palindrone on Sunday night, with four fantastic musicians, me managing to lead a line doing something resembling the kost ar'choad, and the lead guy pulling out first a set of two very long pipes that he played simultaneously and made these incredible strange Scandinavian harmonies on, and then going all Hendrix with his bagpipes later on. Him going down on his knees, pulling the mike with him and playing the bagpipes one-handed really was something to be seen.

Ah yes, home-made t-shirts. Very much a collaborative effort between Fiona and me, the product of several lunchtimes of work, I present to you the transfers what I made for Tickled Pink.



I particularly like "i likes ur volume can has it loudr" - and go here if your reaction is 'cats? cutesy text? what?'.

The weather was excellent, I saw some old friends, got to camp out with Gordon Potts and Diane Moody (who brought a fridge, a carpet and a gazebo in their Transit van, all three highly useful), Fee Lock (who made an astoundingly good curry on Sunday night, and supplied Marks & Spencers voiceover material), Jane (who needed to bring nothing else to be welcome), Steve (who brought coffee beans and a grinder), Martin Kiff (who brought prodigious dancing skills), and Fiona and Drak (who brought glowsticks. Lots of glowsticks).

Monday night was also distinguished by the costumes for the Demon Barbers concert - they played as the Demon Barbies, and the theme was, indeed, Demons and Barbies. Which was fair enough, and there were some fun ones - lots of blokes in drag, etc, etc, but I did think the S&M theme went some way too far. I'm glad I went to Tickled Pink!
