Greenbelt


Can't wait til Sunday. I'm taking my eldest son to the Greenbelt Festival. For my Russian and American friends and maybe even some of my British ones, it's a music festival with a Christian focus. It used to draw crowds of about 30 000 and some big names have played there like U2. It always has a real variety of acts and the vast majority are total quality. It was where I heard Julie Miller for the first time and I totally fell in love with her. She had recently come out of a mental hospital and she did this brilliant version of 'My Psychiatrist'. Absolute legend.
Anyway the Proclaimers are playing this year - the Scottish brothers with the National Health specs. I've got my Scottish hat and wig ready - it's gonna be class.

I'm sad because I'm not going this year! I've been every year since the mid 80's but I'm not able to get this year. I'm still hoping I may get down there for a day though.
