Alice Russell at Standon Calling

Standon Calling had an incredible variety of musical styles on offer - and one of the best performances of the weekend came from Alice Russell - a lovely lady with some serious pipes! I had a little chat with her backstage before her set... have a gander!

Check out some of the lovely sights and sounds from Week 11 of the Trident Perpetual Festival at the awesome Standon Calling!

Toilet rules - part two

Standon Calling used all of the 'waste' from the festival goers to create compost to then use for plantlife. What a great idea - and much better for the environment than chemical toxins. Well done festival!

Efterklang

Evening falls on standon calling

Burrito munched and am sat on the grass (between cowpats) watching Efterklang with new friends. Its been a super day here at Standon. I remember reading on the site before I went that Standon has some of the best fans - and its true. Theres a great vibe here with good people recycling and being friendly and enjoying sunshine and tunes. Lovely stuff.

Best in show

Dog show at a festival? Sure. About 40 dogs and... Two humans dressed as dogs. As ya do.

Alcatraz!!!

This is the club that stays open allllll night.. In the evenings it's full of party people and crazy times and bright lights and loud music... Right now it's totally empty - perfect place to do interviews :)

Standon calling day two

Morning! Tent update! Yesterday was a good day here at standon. After I woke I put on my fancy dress (see drawing below) and had a wander about the site. There were some amazing outfits on display. A huge amount of prisoners. A bucket load of CSI investigators. Loads of cool Cluedo characters. Some people in a plane. Some children dressed as old men and much much more! I took plenty of picture on my camera so will upload them all on my return to civilisation. (very hot in this tent right now). Musically it was a super day too. Saw an incredible swing band, some amazing jazz singing, some dirty dance beats... and The Magic Numbers! They were brilliant and everyone knew the words and danced and sang along. I managed to watch from behind the stage at it was an awesome spectacle. Happy days.
