For several years, Butlins in Skegness has hosted an annual Rock and Blues Festival - a three night weekend featuring some of my favourite bands and some unfamiliar ones. All enjoyed in the company of some good friends, as the pictures will show.
On-stage bands include: Stray, Eddie and The Hot Rods, Dr. Feelgood, plus a few pictures off-stage with members of the audience.
This set includes Paul Jones, followed by Masd, Bad, & Dangerous (John Otway & Richard Holgarth, The Wilco Johnson Band, The Hamsters).
Due to an equipment failure, namely my brain (the bit that deals with memory), this set of pictures is not up to the usual standard. In fact, several ‘on-stage’ pictures had to be discarded altogether, as my replacement camera could not cope with the lighting conditions. Apologies. On the other hand, what remains serves as a record of the weekend.
Skeggie seems to have a jinx on my cameras. These are all that survived (and some only just) for 2010. Look out for some friends, not only from last year, but from Otway’s Acrostic Tour and from the 2009 Dunkerque trip.
This link will take you back to the older photo albums of Skeggie, 2002 and 2005, in my music pages.
