Last weekend was a busy time, and while enjoying the events I took a few photos. The music fest was a last minute decision, as I was at a loose end.
So, with a few hours to kill, I shot down to the pub for a listen.
No reviews this time, as it was totally off the cuff. But I will say, the Guinness was flat.
There were quite a few bands playing, but as I was only there for a while, I only really saw 2 full sets and part of a third.
I did recognise Bombardier, but the following 2 bands were totally new to me. I discovered Switchblade city but the last one still evades me.
However, here are some photos of the event.

































Sunday was Bike day, so off we went to Brackley. It was a lovely day as we set off, and as soon as we got to the A5, we were enveloped by hundreds of bikes on their ride in. It was great fun.
Well, it wasn't too long to find a parking slot, and then we went off for a walk round.
There was a hell of a lot to look at, and I was really enjoying some of the bikes.
One that really caught my eye, was this Ducati.

There were quite a few custom bikes, so I took a few more.






Down at the main field there were stands and displays galore.
In the arena they had a stunt show where the bikes were getting a lot of air.
These guys were great to watch and here are some of the shots I took.




















That was it for the photos, but we stayed and chatted with friends for a while, and just soaked up the great atmosphere before leaving for home.
