As always I'm a little after the fact in my blog posting.......but I guess I'm just so rock n roll. 

What a fun day this all day'er was, really enjoyed it. Was an afternoon of live music in the beer garden at Hopwood Arms in Middleton, some acoustic acts inside but sadly I couldn't manage the two places at once.....and it was sunny so the outside line up got my vote.

The day opened with a return of old friends Velocets (not valicants) with new drummer Tom. Was great to see them back, and I'm sure the coming months will see more high energy sets from these three lads.

Two other acts that struck a nerve before the beer kicked in was the Backhanders, and Dirty North both telling it as it is.

Open air shows are always dependent on the weather , and later in the evening the drizzle came in, but for once it added to the night!

Well done to all the bands, and the venue, organizers. Recommended and one to look out for next time.
