Solfest Festival 2018
Solfest is a quirky, funky, good-humoured festival situated in North Cumbria, between the Solway and the fells.
It was a real pleasure to be invited to play in the bright sunshine at the mysterious circus that is the Melodrome stage, in the company of the Feminist Mouse Circus, a stuffed badger and a tea-making man in a pinny.
Our friends from Penrith came along to support us - a big thank you to Liz, Steve, Pam, Norman, Jan, Lynn and Sheila, whose dance moves and wigs were impressive!
Solfest highs:

Lights, flowers, twinkly stuff, dangly stuff, cute stuff

The big beautiful sky, with heart-shaped clouds and Northern Lights (or was that just the gin?)
