Tentertainment 2013, Sunday

Was off in Maidstone snapping the (massive!) Race For Life earlier in the day so missed some of the acts, including Him & Her, who are excellent and who I was hoping to catch.

The quality was generally high and the weather was perfect.  We don't often manage a proper hot summer's day now but we had one on Sunday.  The crowd was a little bit less lethargic but most seemed happy to loll about in the sunshine drinking Pimm's instead of getting up and dancing ;)

Loved Van Susans (I thought the lead singer was going to flake out in the heat at one point, but he managed to stay on his feet lol).  Was also some decent music in the yurt, but several acts struggled against the noise coming from the main stage.

The extremely popular local stars, The Tuesdays, were the final act.  As with last year, tech gremlins with the sound gave them a headache or two but I don't think the crowd were too bothered.

Tentertainment 2013, Saturday

Decent weather, though with some annoying cloud early on.  Saturday's line up was quite hit & miss.  Charlotte Rose Ellis wasn't able to perform for some reason.  Other acts that were supposed to be playing either didn't, or did so in a different order to that billed.  Coco & the Butterfields were a no show for their yurt spot but made it for their main stage performance later (I missed that, the heat had taken its toll by then).

Phase 5 were great and the only act to spark a bit of life in the generally listless crowd.  So few people got up and danced!  Dancing people who have had a bit too much to drink are the life blood of snappers (lol).

Also superb were Daniel Jeanrenaud & the Standard Lamps.  Personally, I would reserve the yurt for acoustic acts and the main stage for the foot stomping bands.  But what do I know ;)
