A whistling dude heads out of the festival
The Cambridge Folk Festival, Cherry Hinton, Cambridge - 27th July 2007
By the time it came to actually get a ticket, most of them had sold out leaving only a Friday night session. Which was fair enough, as having never been before it was good to try a small taster of the event before committing to the whole four-day thrash. The Folk Festival does have a good, hippy-ish vibe, but with only three stages there's not always tons of music going on. However, being "folky" means that the bars do have a good range of real ale, rather than the usual shite globo-mega-corp festival lager, and so it's almost like a music/beer-fest rolled into one. Just before turning up at the festival, Nosher had also met up with old college chum Liz and her husband Paul, having not really seen Liz for twenty years, apart from 30 seconds in New Milton Safeway about seven years back.
