So, this was awesome. I'm including the link to pics just in case there is anyone here who missed it on Twitter or G+. These should be set to public so anyone can see:

Not bad for our second ever gig, and first in front of the general public. We were never going to play a packed out tent at 11:30am on Saturday morning, in case you're wondering why it's pretty empty.

Still, we all had a great time, got to camp in the performers field and got to use the catering van, got some blurb in the programme and our name on the back of the t-shirts! Plus it was a family affair as my uncle's band also played. Fingers crossed we'll be asked back again next year.

I'll put up some videos taken with the camcorder once our guitarist has sorted these out.

Nice one fella, that's excellent.

Out of interest, what would one have been endorsing?

Glad it went well for you. Where was your excellent new band logo?

Cider, mainly.

Also, the best bands of the weekend (apart from mine, natch) were:

Ace Trio:
Traditional-sounding 50s rockabilly trio with a double bass and excellent harmonies.
http://www.myspace.com/theacetrio

Pronghorn:
Friday night headliners (and festival organisers), awesome cowpunk action.

Quinn's Quinney:
Self-proclaimed Rural Disco, they essentially covered 90s/2000s pop songs in a cajun style. Think Hayseed Dixie but stuff like 'No Limits', 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' and that Outhere Brothers song.

Random Hand:
Ska/punk/metal/hardcore mix. Think the lovechild of Sick Of It All and Madness. I really don't like this kind of music normally, but they were amazing. Band of the weekend for me.

Tragic Roundabout:
Worth it for their name alone.

Urban Voodoo Machine:
Bourbon-soaked gypsy blues bop'n'stroll, according to the programme. I'm glad as I couldn't begin to describe the genre. Also they had a drummer who looked like a zombie Dimrill.

It's going in the promo pack soon and on the website soon! Also, will be on all flyers and merchandise, I expect.

All of those bands sound fantastic. Does Sir have any links to their websites?
