Slummin Angels @ Pink Festival
Cambridge is quite a long way to go to see a band, but there are some other bands playing that I vaguely know. Aliceband I have seen twice in London; they also replied when I sent them a message asking what time they are on. As Slummin Angels are on at six, Aliceband playing on the same 'alternative' stage at 3.30 is good timing.
The decisive factor for me travelling to Cambridge is the abnormal summer weather. It is 27 and spending some time outside seems an excellent idea. It's actually rather hot in the tent. The festival is free, although they charge a reasonable £2 for parking. I mainly look at bands on the alternative stage, although I do pop over to the Pink Lounge to catch the girl from Geekgirl doing an accoustic set. Things are running increasingly late in the alternative tent (sorry, stage!) and Slummin Angels are on much nearer 7 than 6, but it's a nice evening and the lateness means the heat has eased and Slummin Angels do not drip with sweat like the afternoon bands did.
It's a very pleasant afternoon out and I would consider going again next year if the weather were fair.
