With the main stage unfortunately washed out, we squeezed into the acoustic tent, mic’d up a plastic chair, and plugged into the PA for a short set.
Next gig: Bird’s Nest, Deptford on the 29th June (with proper backline and drum kit!).

Half of Ronnie Ripple & the Ripchords sat in and played a couple of Eddie Cochran songs with The Los Dawsons at the Pelton Arms on Sunday. Joining us on lead guitar, none other than Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze. Great fun.
