Below are the bands we saw and listened to:-
Yesterday our Parrents took me and Sydney to the Calne Country Music Festival. I went a couple of years ago and enjoyed it a lot. We didn't go last year as we were near Lyon in France on our European Tour. I had been telling Sydney how good the Festival was all week and she finally got to find out all for herself. We arrived before 11:00 and had 11 hours of continual Country Music, until 22:00 when our parrents took us home as we were missing our sleep (well, you can't sleep with all that loud music going on and anyway, we wanted to listen!!!). The bands we saw were:- Smokey Mountain Boys, Snake Oil, Dave Montana, The Hanks, Bear Faced Country, and Jeff Gallant Band. Near the beginning, the generator ran out of diesel so all the power went off but, not to be beaten, Smokey Mountain Boys, unplugged their instruments, left their mics and walked up to the audience and played totally acoustically for 2 songs! We were sat right at the front and it was just as if they were singing to Sydney and me! During the day we nibbled (Dad calls it Grazing) on Carrot sticks, French Beans, Celery, Cucumber, and of course, Biscuits! We also tried Cherries for the first time ever. Dad says they are good for gout but I don't think me or Sydney get gout but he said they were still good for us. Having tried them we both decided we liked them and wanted some more. During the lunchtime they had a shooting competition but it didn't bother Sydney and me - we just stayed to watch the music! There were several stalls there selling mainly Country & Western clothing or food but Dad found a Country & Western Toy stall and looked for some small stetsons for me and Syd so we could have our own Stetsons but he couldn't find any! Hmmm, I quite fancy a Stetson too!!!
