When I heard that Little Fish were playing this festival I thought I might buy a ticket so that I could take in some of the other bands. When I investigated further I found that everyone was playing at the same time. To be sure of getting in to see a band you really have to be at a particular venue for the previous band. So with most interesting bands playing at 8pm, 9pm or 10pm  I can't see anyone at another venue as Little Fish are playing at 9pm. If I hadn't been going to France the next day I could have stayed up to see Crystal Castles at 1am. But I am leaving for France at 6am the next morning. So I arrive at 7.55 and am lucky to find that parking meters are free after 8pm. Unfortunately I don't know where I am as I don't have a map. I know thatthe venue is between the railway station and the sea, and at one point I was near the railway station. Fortunately I find the right road. I'm not so sure I will find the car afterwards, but have taken the precaution of writing down the name of the road where I have left the car.
I'm still dressed for last night's gig, with loads of clothes to keep out the cold. The Hope is packed when I arrive and everyone is dripping with sweat. There are several people here I know and others with whom I have exchanged e-mails. The crowd sing well when required and everyone is dripping with sweat by the end of a stirring set.Fortunately the car is not too difficult to find.
