Outer Hebrides - June 20th to 30th

My first big trip, 10 days on the road, island hopping up the Outer Hebrides. A fantastic, lovely journey, but rather than create a huge post here, I have created a separate blog with loads of detail and links to the campsites I visited.

Willowman 2015 - June 18-21st

Well I know I went, but looking back I can't remember anyone except Echo and the Bunnymen, who were great. Killing Moon and all the hits plus a bit of chat.

Weather was poor, bands not worth getting wet for, so left early for Oban and the ferry to the Hebrides.

BAMFest

Back for a second visit to BAMfest, this time with the van. Decent camping, but you couldn't come off the site for the whole weekend, so I never got down in to Bedale, being too lazy to walk, plus the 2 stages on site were permanently playing. Slightly boring food supplies. I bought some garlic cheese which didn't travel!

My van is bang in the middle of this pic.

• Bands of note were - Rob Heron and the Tea Pad Orchestra, The Most Ugly Child, Fireside Knights, Backyard Buskers,  Henry Priestman.

• Bands who were 'meh' - Martin Stephenson, very odd man and too much talking. Jon Palmer band, fine except for the lead singers lisp.

• Band to avoid - Babajack. I actually got up and walked out.

• Band who wasn't a band - Les Barker, lovely monologues, very funny in a slow gentle style
