Ely Folk Festival 2010
July 17, 2010 @ 10:01 amWow! The 25th Ely Folk Festival - what a scorcher!! Superb line-up and tremendously hot camping!
The Bounty Hounds were thrilled to be invited to play a short set in Marquee 2 on Friday night as part of a showcase of local bands organised by the lovely Mr Mark Lemon. It was all jolly exciting to be on a proper stage with real sound engineers and everything! And, of course, we totally rocked!
Given that we had only a half hour set to get our frocking message across, we went straight for the jugular and played eight of our most folk rocking songs to a huge audience - don’t be fooled by the video - they were all standing outside the marquee due to the intense heat inside!!
Here’s a little taste on YouTube: Far Away by the Bounty Hounds, Ely Folk Festival 2010
The feedback afterwards was really positive, we sold several of our new CDs “Tales of the Land and Songs of the Sea” and we’re hoping that the festival organisers will see sense and invite us back for a full length set (or two) for next year!
Festival highlights for me …. the beautiful Floozies, the amazing Lau, a lovely trip into Ely on Saturday, the fabulous Oysterband, Chris & Denny of course, Tyde, Dogan Mehmet and best of all, having my fella camp with me for one night only!! Woop woop!
Photos soon ….
