The last of my shots from this year's A New Day Festival. Finally got to see Solstice above on the Friday, can remember them from years ago with Marillon; Pallas; IQ; Twelfth Night etc. at the start of the 1980s.
Like the previous day with Kangaroo Moon, on Saturday, we made the big mistake of getting inside the Festival site as early performers Lapis Lazuli were finishing off their set:
What we did catch was really good and wish we'd caught more.
Didn't really know what to make of Kylver (below):
Just weren't my cup of tea.
Also didn't know what to make of Mark Stanway's Kingdom of Madness (below) despite being familiar with all the Magnum tunes (have seen Magnum many times over the years).
Still, the version of 'Tall Ships' was very good.
On Sunday, we timed our Festival entrance to coincide with Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash coming on stage (before this, we'd been having a few pints in a pub near the Festival site, a wise move given the beer inside the Festival wasn't the best I've ever had):
Besides Martin Turner, I enjoyed Leatherat on Sunday afternoon:
Reminded me of The Levellers, a good kind of Festival band.
Shot of Mungo Jerry, before starting his set, below:
And finally a shot from the pub near the Festival site, which, as already suggested, played a key role throughout the Festival:
