Indietracks

After last night’s late night, another one.
We drove up to Butterley and the railway museum, home to the annual Indietracks music festival. The site is reached by a rise on a train from C’s childhood. Lots of good bands but, after all this hot weather, it was cold and rainy all afternoon- cleared up for a lovely evening. I had to buy a festival T shirt just to have something dry to wear...
We had a meal at the museum’s buffet. This was itself a blast from the past... individual portions of microwaved food (tuna and pasta bake) served in the Tupperware container on top of a plate containing what must have been tinned peas and carrots. And some not quite microwaved potatoes. Your gran would have been proud of it.

Colour Me Wednesday- a good indie girl band
Darren Hayman - playing Hefner’s first album from start to finish
Dream Wife - very good, punkish band of three women and a male drummer. The singer had real star power and lots of shouty songs.
British Sea Power - good set from their backlist. Finished the main set with an instrumental from Frpm The Sea To The Land Beyond. Really good.

Then it was time to catch a 60s diesel back to the station...

Will be back next year...

And, thanks to setlist.fm...
