2000 Trees III

After a not so good nights sleep, day two begins. I'm sorry I still don't have any pictures of my company – Josh, Lindsay and Sam.

DAY TWO
Nature walk.
View down onto the festival site.
I didn't take many photos after the nature walk until the afternoon when Josh
and I got to the front of the main stage for Johnny Flynn & the Sussex Wit.
BANJO!
This is Johnny Flynn by the way.
We also watched Sonic Boom Six, awesome ska/punk band,

65daysofstatic, instrumental rock, and Bombay Bicycle Club - "who?"
But I didn't take any photos of these, so here's a turtle on a fishing rod.
And onto Saturday night headliners,
THE SUBWAYS

 At the front, oh yes.
Most of my photos are of Billy, singer/guitarist, as Charlotte, bassist,
was too far away to focus on for a half decent photo. And the drummer was
shrouded in smoke - I cannot remember his name, is it Josh?
Finally an okay picture of Charlotte.
After this I was too busy bopping and singing to take photos.

I'm going to go as far as to say, The Subways put on the best show of the festival. It was a great end to Trees. They're so energetic and enthusiastic. Playing all of my favourites, including Mary - a song that opens with "Mary is my best friend". The perfect song to represent my best friend, Lindsay, who was there with me and
introduced me to The Subways in the first place.

Billy is a fine showman and engaged with the audience well. It was their first headline of a festival, so you could tell it was special. At the end, he did the unbelievable thing of climbing up the side of the stage - something I've seen him do on TV. But to top it off, when he reached the top, towering above us, he leaped into the centre of the crowd. Crazy and brilliant.
