The gang have bagsied the usual spot by the wheelie bins
The Cambridge Folk Festival, Cherry Hinton Hall, Cambridge - 1st August 2009
Fresh from three days at Latitude and a Dingle wedding, Nosher, Isobel and The Boy do a day at the Cambridge Folk Festival, held at Cherry Hinton Hall. All the usual stuff is there, including one of Noddy's somewhat-unplanned visits from Dublin, together with suitably apocalyptic festival weather - a couple of hours' torrential rain which rapidly turns the site into a mud-wrestling ring. Isobel and Fred escape back to Caroline's house, leaving Nosher and Noddy, who is roaming around somewhere, to catch a spot of the legendary Hammond B3 player Booker T. Jones.
