V Fest – Chelmsford (Sunday)
The following morning there was already a small crowd of autograph hunters outside the hotel in Birmingham…
Maxi and Blissy duly obliged…
…until Jo stepped in – “All aboard, we’re late!”
The motorway was jam-packed and Carl and Ratty were soon engaged in a race…for the fastest (slow-)moving lane
…
…
When the tour buses finally arrived (we won’t reveal who won the race here – it’s still being disputed), it was hard not to miss the ridiculously large police presence…
Luckily they turned out to be of the more friendly variety…
Panic over…it was time to greet the stewards…
…
And then to the dressing rooms, where LSK was the first to notice the poster on the wall…
…The charity ’21st Century Leaders’ was calling all artists and performers to draw themselves as a stick-person and to draw a symbol of hope… The poster showed Ozzy Osbourne’s contribution…
LSK took up the mantle and got to work on the Faithless artistic contribution…
…while Blissy got excited at the prospect of a rain-free afternoon, as the sun had just popped its head out!
…
Skin from Skunk Anansie came by to say ‘hello’…
…
Sudha had made friends with everyone in the Marshall tent…
…and acquired herself a little amplifier…
…and Maxi found a kind chap with a golf buggy to take him to the guest area where his friends were waiting - nowhere near the Artists area, of course, but on the other side of the site!
…
…
Maxi signs some wellies in the guest area
…
Back by the dressing rooms LSK had bumped into (or been bumped into by) Chas Smash from Madness fame…
…
…
…
LSK can’t draw stick-people…
…
"are we all ready then?"
Time to head to stage…
…
No-one fell for the 100 metre ride to the stage offered by minibus…
"I think we can manage to find it... It's that big stage looking thing over there, no?"
…
…
…
…
…
…
“SHOWTIME SHOWTIME”, came the call from Tommy…
…and it was out to face the madness…
…
—-
The show was watched at the side of stage by a proper variety of well-known characters, from Noel Gallagher to Dizzee Rascal…
…and quite a few hung around to thank and greet everyone as they came off stage…
Lip from Shameless
…
Beverly Knight
…
…and of course, the one and only, Elly Jackson from La Roux…
…then Maxi turned and almost tripped over a bearded fellow who seemed to be kneeling at his feet…
"Get up Steve!"
It was none other than Sea-Sick Steve, giving his humblest of praises as only he can…
…
They exchanged numbers, promised to collaborate together in the future, and…
…it was off to the bar…!
