The next leg of our journey is helping out at the Steelhouse Festival, which is held on 29th - 30th July 2017 on top of a mountain in South Wales, UK.
Unfortunately, the discovery of a Dragon's remains have halted the preparation of the festival site.
Ok, ok, I pulling your leg.
The Dragon's skeleton is the actual prop that was used on a set of "Game of Thrones".
There are reports of motorists doing a double takes, whilst it was transported to the Festival site on the back of a lorry.
I have joined the rest of volunteers that help put the Festival together, (known as the Steelhouse Family) and on the production days I will be photographing the bands for various publications.
The Festival has been going since 2001 and any hardened classic rock fan would recognise the many named bands that have graced the Steelhouse stage; bands such as Europe, Black Star Riders (Scott Gorham ofThin Lizzy) and many ex-members of Whitesnake in various incarnations and projects.
My favourite has to be Dee Snider of Twisted Sister, who got all the volunteers on stage to congratulate them for their efforts.
It's amazing to see the transformation a mountain top into a working festival site. There is no electricity or running water. Everything has to be hauled up to the top of the mountain via an unforgiving winding, dusty, wide dirt road. It's quite a feat.
I'll be staying in Merlin up here for just over a week. In the past I have done various jobs from putting up fencing, a plumbers mate to helping put up the stage. (under supervision of course).
My wife usually works in the kitchen; helping to feed the hungry volunteers, and the rockstars.
I'll be posting more photos of the transformation, and some of the bands, if I get time.
I have just realised that there seems to be a theme of Arthurian legends, Belgian druids and now dragons, since I joined steemit, less that a month ago. Especially considering that I am travelling in a campervan called Merlin.
See my other posts to see what I mean.
