Three outstanding bands and overnight camping for a mere £7:50 per head (In advance), seriously? AWESOME.
It is really great to see a young band such as Maverick come on so much in a year or so, they really rocked it and held the sell out audience throughout their set, no mean feat for any band, their current CD, Uneasy Seasons is well worth a listen too.

Massive Wagons current CD "Welcome to the World" is quite simply sublime.

There and Back Again!
The title is not, in this case, any reference to The Hobbit
But to the numerous trips made by Kevin to set up Camp Fellowship
For this time the Fellowship were four but what’s more
To add further complication, it was a different combination
For there was a Kevin, a Chris and of course me
But this time we had a Hazel for company
And that meant we needed Fender’s Den and Kaz da Kamper
But with no Smiffy that meant that poor Kevin had to scamper
There and back again, between Langford and Melbourn
And as a consequence such tales are born!

The Legendary Fender's Den |
It didn’t take long to get Fender’s Den ready
Three pairs of hands nice and steady
And we were on our way
For Kevin’s first trip of the day
This time there was no camping just outside
Out in the car park is where we’d reside
But that’s close enough anyway
Chris and I went to the bar and Kevin was on his way
In time, he somewhat exhausted, returned
Fighting all the way with Kaz, a pint he’d surely earned!

Chris, Hazel and Kevin relaxing! |
Hazel arrived in good time and so we were set
For one of the best nights at Melbourn Rock Club yet
Maverick have come on a pace or four
And these young lads rocked the placed from the ceiling to the floor
The new stripped down Kaine were quire simply magnificent
Listening to them is time well spent
No doubt about it, they absolutely smashed it
So could Massive Wagons follow that?
You had better believe they could and they did
The damn finest rock band we’ve seen for years god forbid
And a night which will go down in Fellowship history
Maurice was presented with his Corona shirt but that’s another story

Fender takes up a prime position ready for the bands |
For reasons I won’t go into here there was no BBQ breakfast
But never fear, we ventured out to the Silver Ball
And a great breakfast feast was had by all
Before I headed home from Royston by train
And Kevin set off once more, there and back again!

So, until the next time, keep rocking, keep supporting live music and have fun.
