Last time I visited the Lark in the Park I had a memorable journey home, and the lights were awful. As I'm still feeling the effects of Sunday's night bus escapade, I am drawn to making the trip in the car. On a more altruistic note I did think the band might welcome a lift back as my journey takes me close to their base.

The weather is damp and many of the crowd seem to be dressed for winter; in fact some look as if they've just returned from Glastonbury (its a long walk from Glastonbury to islington).

On my previous visit the lights were very disappointing, since then it seems that either new bulbs have been bought or they have found someone who can operate the lights. Either way the Lark in the Park just shot up my venue league table.

Reverse E (who have changed their name from Reverse Engineering) are well recieved.

We speed off relatively early and I catch up on a little sleep, making the evening even more pleasant.
