I so wasn’t up for a big day a Lovebox. I was just utterly exhausted and on top of that the rain until about 3pm was pretty torrential. Still I’d kitted myself out with some gumboots especially for the gig so I thought at least I should make an appearance.

To be fair by the time Laney and I turned up to meet E-Yen, Jo and Ros the weather had cleared up so at least it wasn’t raining anymore. Unfortunately the Lovebox grounds were an absolutely mudbath. Kind of fun in its own way but I was mega glad I had my wellies.

The headline acts at today’s session were Blondie, Scissor Sisters with the finale featuring 2 Many DJs. Is it terrible to admit that Laney and I didn’t even make it to the Blondie session (which started at roughly 6pm?) Seriously – I just physically couldn’t stand anymore.

Still we enjoyed a few of the other acts including the hilarious and hugely entertaining Beth Ditto who, after a costume change or two, proceeded to get her gear off during her session and also climbed into the crowd (after she put on her clothes that is)! What an entertainer! Unbelievably her voice lost no volume or pitch throughout all the physical moving – what an beautiful voice she has.
