Saturday 17th July- rest & travel


No show tonight, so it was a chance to catch up on sleep and get ready for the show on Sunday at the Welshpool C & W festival.
Tracy had difficluty finding accomodation in Welshpool and eventually booked a weekend at a lock keeper's cottage on the Montgomery Canal near Welshpool. It meant that there were some extra beds, so we decided to drive over on Saturday evening to save an early start on the Sunday.
We found the place and it was very nice, just off the beaten track and very peaceful
We had a cup of tea and a chat before Cozy and Chris went off to explore the local pub about half a mile down the road.
Chris and stayed the night in a brand new barn conversion that was being finished off. It was spartan (it was still a building site) but the eco-friendly heating system based on pipes laid in trenches in the field next door) worked well and supplied hot water and kept us warm.
We had to be out early in order to arrive at the festival site by eight. Chris slept in. We were a little late but had set up and sound checked before the doors opened to allow several thousand country music fans on site.
More later.
