Secret Widget Festival - Conway/Britton
Sep. 8th, 2018 10:33 pmThis festival moved from the Isle Of Wight to Surrey with a couple of months to go. We made the journey super early as we were on first at noon. First impressions, a lovely festival at a cricket ground owned by the drummer from The Faces, Kenny Jones. I don't play many festivals so there's always a feeling of excitement/nerves in advance.
It was evident that all the crew we met seemed to have very heavy hangovers, but soundcheck went smoothly. It became evident pretty soon that the change of venue and publicity issues had affected turnout quite a bit. We played our set to a small but appreciative audience, waked around for a bit, sold a few of CDs, then headed home.
Hopefully things will go better for them next year as it was a great venue.
