Here I am at Whistle Binkies, Edinburgh. I know you have always wanted to see inside the place. I managed to capture three bands.
First I saw was Irregular CompanyAlas I only saw the last 3 sets.
A wait and then on came Come in Tokyo. Two piece band with a tasty female drummer.
Last band I saw was The Jack. Older more traditional rock bank
All were worth while listening too, and these are the best of my pictures. Quite hard to get good ones in the low light, and flash is a definite no, you lose the ambience. Umm is this a new faster lens I need.
We visited the Game Fair at Blenheim Palace on the Saturday. Fairly early start and no real problems getting in. Previous day we had heard of people turning around and not making it because of all the traffic.
The day was very hot and sunny, the place was packed with stalls selling various country goods from posh tables, wood stoves, wood central heating, wellies, guns, and the latest 4 x 4. Notable exceptions were that Landrover did not have a stand.
Took a look at the birds of prey, and watched some flying with Jemima Parry-Jones.
Spent a considerable time down by the river watching the dogs retrieve their dummies. Later met up with Ann and Chris, we were going to see Chris perform with his gun and dog, but alas the stand had finished.
Very pleasant meal (BBQ steak) with Ann and Chris in the camping site attached to the Gane Fair. Left after dark, took a little while to find the car parked on its own in a dark and large field. No queues leaving at 11.00pm
