Greenbelt 2008

Have been away from Exeter for the weekend to go to the Greenbelt festival in Cheltenham. Another good year, although I am finding less and less each year to interest me, but still plenty to do and friends to see!

Some highlights for me were Beth Rowley (http://www.bethrowley.com/), who was fairly new to me, but very impressive on stage



Juliet Turner (http://www.julietturner.com/), a long time favourite of mine!



An artist totally new to me, Esther Alexander (http://www.estheralexander.com/)



And the mainstage headliners of José González and Seth Lakeman on the Saturday night both put in spirited performances.



Off the stage all sorts of things were happening, films, meeting people for a pint of cider, a marvellous collection of photographs called Hard Rain (http://www.hardrainproject.com/exhibition.htm), floating angels and plenty more.





Slight change of plan for the Wibloggers meet, but the "Tiny Tea Tent" was the venue that had the honour of hosting it this year. Not ideal perhaps, but we made the best of it, and had a complicated system in place for keeping track of tea orders.
