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!
