Bad Manners' late start and a strict running order meant we were robbed of their encore, sure to have included 'Lip Up Fatty'. So I included it in my set the next day - my first ever festival gig!
An hour and a half of ska, reggae and old soul at Radio Disturbo's marquee went down very well.
The crowd's favourites were, if I'm any judge, The Maytals' Just Tell Me, The Harry J Allstars' Liquidator, Booker T & the MGs' Soul Limbo (yes, the BBC2 cricket music), and of course, Nothing But a Heartache by the Flirtations.
Sincere thanks to music director Lorraine, Will the techie, Rocket organiser Marcus and of course to Elaine for all her support - and photography too!
Next year, we should do a full Soul Ska Shakedown - or a Mad Mods Party? - at the Rocket. The house, hip-hop and techno sessions are excellent, but everyone likes a change of style now and then... GG
