Trowbridge Village Pump 2007

As seems to be par for the course for 2007, another really wet weekend but mitigated by some great company and excellent music - not least by The Volt on Saturday. Were preceded by an impromptu set from Show of Hands - which was a nice touch since Phil Beer's mum Madge used to babysit for Jack when he was tiny!

The Volt played a brave set on Saturday - starting off with a new song they hadn't played in public before but they showed what professionals they are and had the audience on their side very quickly. The rain outside kept the crowd indoors which was a bonus. They played a more relaxed set late that night to a partisan "home" crowd which I thought established them as one of the premier young bands in the region - and were watched by Joe and Sam from Blackbud.

Also saw a magical set from Eric Bibb and a lovely warm set from Joe Brown.
