I am nearly deterred from making the 2.5 hour trip to the wilds of Suffolk by an extremely poor weather forecast. Fortuneately most of the downpour does not reach this far east.

The event is a big party in a field, like a mini festival. Some fine local ales are on offer, and the burgers are reportedly good. Tents have been set up so we are not afraid of rain. The afternoon bands sound fine although we do not see much of them; Like most of the party-goers we sit in the open (at times it is nearly sunny) and allow the sounds from the music tent to drift past us.

More people are driven into the music marquee by rain soon before Plakka play so they benefit from a real audience. There are reasonable lights, although at the beginning of their set the daylight is seeping through canvas which makes colour balance an impossible issue for me (being colour blind). By the end of the set the daylight has gone. As you can see the lights are covered by strong gels, the yellow being particularly prominent and quite heavy red.

Plakka have Kezza the trumpet player on holiday, but for this special trip they have Severine guesting on drums.
