The Festival had an atmospheric kick off early afternoon:
Never expected the opening act, Mr Wilson's Second Liners to come out playing on the field (rather than the stage):

This was more expensive than the Stonedead Rock Festival at Newark Showground that I'd attended a week beforehand.

But every time we re-entered the Head for the Hills Festival, we had our rucksacks checked by a couple of unsmiling, yellow-vested officials, one of whom was wearing a hijab. Found all of this a bit absurd, to be honest.
