I had quite a musical weekend. On Friday we had our first open mic in a long while at The White Horse in Arlesey. We have had some great nights there and so it was fun to play there again in this format. I took my drums along to play Led Zeppelin's Rock and Roll with a couple of guys (messily with no rehearsal) and then joined in with various others. Unfortunately I have no recordings of the evening, but you had to be there.
Then on Sunday it was off to Flopsy Wood near Hertford for Druidfest. This is a summer solstice event that we have played at for the last few years and they keep asking us back. Some of the band are involved with the druids and the local folk music scene. We have played there as folk band 
Flopsy Wood is a lovely venue near Hertford. They have various structures, including a shelter we played under previously, plus circles with fire pits.
They host other events too such as crafts. There are composting toilets, but no mains electricity. We used portable power units for the PA.
First on were BlueJam Acoustic who had some lovely original songs featuring trombone solos!
As it was so warm we played in the open on a stage that was distinctly uneven. I felt like I was leaning back, but I did not fall off.
The final set was an open jam where we were joined by the guy from BlueJam and a lady on squeezebox for more folk tunes. I was not familiar with all of them, but managed to join in on most. I am always conscious of trying to add something rather than just play for its own sake.
It was a great way to spend the afternoon and the crowd enjoyed it. There was some joining in with drums and shakers.
