Where Next?

 Wild Fields: Day 3 - Afternoon

As it happens, it all kicks off at The Maid's Head Hotel. There's a wedding downstairs, a ticket collection point in the Edith Cavell Room for Wild Paths and three music biz seminars / talks for the local music college in the Minstrels' Room, before we get round to the music. 

The room, as you'd hope is acoustically sound and the solo performance from Arthur Black, (stet) make it feel like a lazy Sunday afternoon, a slightly mournful one at that.  Reflective, with a little angst thrown in. 

The carpeted floor is quality enough to be a comfy seating area, at least two thirds are settled down. I think the presence of two people with wheelchairs have set the level, which others have responded to. Nice. Photographers do their busy thing. Arthur does their thing. Working solo, a break from their band, just for a change. 

The lack of chat in the audience is an absolute godsend. We can hear every word. It's cool. 

I am beginning to lose track of time, so if I don't know what day it is, you don't need to know. 

A nice set. Nothing ground-breaking, but delivered with feeling. Authentic.
