Che!

Mogwai!

The calm before the Mogwai storm....

Mercury Rev did a great fairy tale psych rock set. At one point it looked like Grasshoppers head was going to explode.

Think this guy plays guitar with Gonzales. He strutted up and down backstage all day like a matador.

Sean and Russ entertained everybody all night long with Guilty Pleasures in the film tent.

Alexa's mate Tom and his mate (Rod?) took the chance to catch a few rays before the Post Rock noise fest later.

So TV Magic and Sir Text-A-Lot really enjoyed being fed for free by the Artist catering. Made a change from fried chicken on the way home form the 12 Bar Club. Then Sir Text's fucking tooth fell out! Brilliant!

Here's a man dressed like a chicken about to order a chicken and mushroom pie. Well it was still a festival.

Isn't this the coolest face painting you've ever seen? He was the only crime fighter we saw all day. No cops everywhere like Dreading or Glasto.

The erudite and dapper John Moore did some readings for The Idler in between eating organic burgers.

Late afternoon and the hippies were getting tired.

Nicky Wire played a rambling and brillant set. He could be the new great (welsh) rock eccentric.

Sean and his daughter Nova were the coolest dad and kid at the festival.

So was Davids dad Peter who lives near the site. He was the only one brave and proud enough to get up and dance. The rest of us were too cool to dance.

Alexa was there to watch David and the bands festival debut.

Rowan And The Crops Failed played at lunctime in the cinema tent after a screening of The Wickerman. Simon had to literally drop his bass and run to his dads car when they finished to catch a plane to Portugal.

Don't know who this lot were but shes pretty and plays the accordian. Thats got to be worth a picture.

The feather boa girls were there to cheer on Nicky.

Here's Robin. We drove down with him. He had to look after Nicky Wire all day.

They dyed some sheep to match the tie dye of the festival goers. This backfired because some of the earth mother vegans thought this was cruel.
