Last weekend I attended the revamped Cambridge Folk Festival. I have been to this festival over 30 times and seen soem great gigs. Don't let the work folk fool you, I've seen Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds , Patti Smith , Afro Celt Sound System and โตœโตโต”โต“โต [Tinariwen] , to name a few over the years. Usually a very eclectic line up

I hadn't been in quite a few years and last year it was cancelled. It was back this year and a group of us, all CFF veterans, decided to go.

Much leaner than usual, and less crowded and a great weekend.

I'm going to post my highlights on what I saw over the next few days


Coming towards the end of our CFF weekend.

Next up were The Deep Blue. All female indie band who really rather rocked the place. A bit of a punk attitude which was a refreshing diversion from the usual CFF fare. Good band

Brรฒgeal would have been a great band to finish the last day of the festival, but they chose to put them on mid afternoon. No problem with that at all as I got to see them.

Folk / punk / indie band. Not sure what they might sound like on record but live they were great. Our last band of the festival as we had to leave early but nice way to finish the festival

Just realised that there was one last act that I didn't mention that I saw on Stage Two, Nick Harper , son of the legendary Roy Harper

Nick told some great stories about his dad between songs and it was a nice hour or so of excellent acoustic folk.

I started my 60's & 70's listening groups a year ago, which is quite unbelievable to be honest. How time has flown.

So, in the last year I've posted 23 different albums for comment and review in the Forums and got an unbelievable 1.3 million views and 485 comments (thanks for the engagement folks)

Top of the pops was


In Search Of The Lost Chord (1968) by The Moody Blues

with 245,077 views. Not sure why this album was so popular but it clearly peaked a lot of interest.

The most posts, not too surprisingly was for


Revolver (1966) by The Beatles

with 60. Revolver also got 131,350 views placing it in 3rd place

2nd, with 200,037 views was


Sticky Fingers (1971) by The Rolling Stones

Also, no surprise there

We are now embarking on another group, 80's and 90's so more albums to post in the coming months. Keep 'em peeled
