Plume of Feathers - Shrewton
'All The Kit' Allthekit presided over the second Shrewton Music
festival which was a smaller more intimate affair across 27th and 28th May 2006
and held at the Plume and Feathers Shrewton.
Coaster kicked the festival off to a rocking start with
an original set
defying the terrible weather the day produced. The weather got worse for High
Energy who kept the crowd happy with some family favourites. The weather just started to improve for the Hotblack Trio
who played some relaxing cool jazz. As the rain finally
moved away Highway Blues gave the evening an injection of great guitar and
amongst some blues greats others they performed an awesome version of Hide
Away. The first night was headlined by Agents Orange and what a great job they
did. A great performance from this local band, with their own touch on the songs
they covered they had the crowd up on their feet all night.
The Sunny Sunday afternoon got off to a heavy heavy
start with Black Rush, those young rockers with a loud future ahead of them.
The Imposters then added a bit more soul to the evening and helped keep the sun
shining. Robb Blake gave his own unique one man and a guitar set confidently
dishing out his original songs as well as a few originally sung covers. Turtle
Shed, the opening act of the first Shrewton Music Festival, gave an energetic
performance which really tested the suspension of the lorry stage. The local
band Blindhouse completed the local line-up before the place really filled up to
see the headlining and cult like Wurzels. The crowd were really up for this
performance and the Wurzels didn't disappoint with a run through of all there
classic hits. young and old alike were dancing around like they'd been drinking
the old zider all night.
We all look forward to next years
festival...
