(Third time I've started writing this. Must not close mozilla.)

After (and before) a silly amount of travelling (and moneyspending) there was Jools Holland in Kew gardens. With me, Liz, Adam, random, Lee and Gary. And it was good.

Lovely atmosphere. Walking around the park barefoot all night; in fact the trains back all the way barefoot too. I want to be barefoot always. Free drink things and lovely blue cheese. Henna.

Great music. Dancing. So close.

So, sitting around on our Tux blankets listening to the first few songs. It was good. Then suddenly there was an unplugged session. The lights went out, and you could barely hear music. Jools got up and directed from the front, the brass played their hearts out. Quite impressive save, they never missed a beat, and we got a couple of solos from audible instruments (trumpet and something else).

Naturally that was followed by a gap while they sorted out power, but as we were sitting around relaxing in a park it wasn't so bad at all.

And yes, some of us were up at the front by the stage dancing (led by Adam in his bee and butterfly facepaint), it was fun.
