We are dedicating this page to
The THREE DAY Event . . . . That is
SALTFEST 2010
The Bands gave their all to make this , hopefully , an annual event.
Nearly all the entertainment took place beneath the historic
Brunel Bridge which crosses the River Tamar into Cornwall .
from the left , Livewire Main Stage next the UNION and finally far right , the BOATMAN . . .
If you were lucky , you would be serenaded by some very talented singers
in close four part harmony , whilst strolling from the mainly popular
folk singing guitar playing solo acts in ‘The BOATMAN’ to the jazz
bands , Traditional Folk three and four piece bands and three and four
man ‘ covers ‘ bands playing at the UNION.
After a swift ‘half’ of real Ale and a nostalgic trip down many
‘memory lanes’, we move on to the LIVEWIRE Youth Project Centre
where there is some serious Heavy Stuff to be heard .
Could this be Gordon? from Gordon and the Bennets . . .
Above ’ Gordon & the Bennets ‘ keeping it tight on Sunday afternoon . . .
Did I forget to mention the Band who appeared on Saturday night ?
WELL , they were the only act that cost anybody a dime . . .
and they were the DAMNED , and they were unsurprisingly SOLD OUT . .
A great evening was had by all .
. . . Probably the most senior of Musicians attending !
. . . and joining Dick, Roger,And NIgel of the ’ Western Approach Close Harmony Singers
was . . . ( I never did get this fine gentlemans’ name , but I will and edit it later . . . promise ! !) . . . It was John! . . .( I’m sure it still is ! ! )
There was so much going on and it was impossible to catch all the performers
so I hope it is on for next year and many of the acts will be back . . .THINGS I MISSED . . .
the Buskers , the BRUNEL LADIES CHOIR , African Drummers , Music Industry Talk ,
and far too many of the bands . . . thanks to the organisers, who seem to remain nameless
but we will seek them out . . and the generosity of the sponsors .
FINALLY . . . OUR RIPAL find of the Festival, goes to . . . . The NEEDLETONES . .
