    The Mighty Boosh Festival

    This was a fun day-long festival to shoot save for two things: the long walk carrying heavy camera gear from the station to the festival site (we were told it would take 15 minutes, but it took 45 minutes to get onsite) and the PR letting pretty much any one with any kind of camera front of stage with the real photographers to shoot the show. I've got no problem with competing with other photographers and you tend to find a way to work with them, but letting in teenage girls, who were taking pics of Noel Fielding with their camera phones and getting in our way was ridiculous.
    Thankfully, I was able to shoot around them and it didn't stop me from getting really good material of the Mighty Boosh, The Charlatans and Gary Newman (all below) amongst others. And on another plus side the festival was very relaxed with great weather. Tomorrow I return to Hop Farm where Neil Young headlines.
