Our slot was in the 'scooter tent' at 7 o'clock on saturday, but we got there on Friday evening, so there was a full 24 hours for campsite fun before we had to do any work. Several band members reportedly failed to sleep at all that night, with the result that, by 6pm saturday afternoon, exactly one hour before we were due on stage, they were all collapsed unconscious in a heap next to the tents.

It took a few good kicks to get everyone moving again, but we went on to have a really good gig, quite possibly cos several meanies, thinking it was all just an hallucination, really got into it.

Big thanks to all the punters who turned up to fill the marquee, jump around and sing along. We even had a stage invasion, though the invaders backed off a bit when they smelt our breath.

Highlight: Most of it.
Lowlight: Mick picked up a bloodsucking tick ....... down below ......and had to get it removed by several nurses. The tick that is.
