Bunkfest 2006
As Pressgang groupies, we were looking forward to Bunkfest 2006. Just like last year, the band were playing on one of the free stages in the Kinecroft at Wallingford, a long narrow grassy park where all the market stalls set up around the outside along with the all-important beer tent.
From the website we checked out all the bands in advance, quite unlike what we normally do. Sue craves spontaneity but I desire to know what I'm going to do - I hate having the "what shall we do next?" conversations when nobody knows what's on offer and if they're any good. So this year we had a plan which didn't go too badly in the end although we did try to self-destruct before we started.
First stop was supposed to be one of the boat trips where different musicians played on each journey. We were running a bit late and walked to the river where we were unable to find the point the boat was supposed to leave from. With the schedule starting to fray, we walked into Wallingford and tried to find somewhere for lunch. The tension got too much and after a quick argument we threw away the script and split up to go our separate ways.
Luckily, after a while we bumped into each other and tempers had cooled down so that we could become a family out to enjoy ourselves again.
