After trekking the whole way across London I arrived at Putney Bridge half an hour before anyone else, and so set about finding the best sun soaked seating arena I could. This turned out to be a two foot wall at the front of a studio - perfect. However this wall accommodated two massive plaques clearly declaring ‘DO NOT SIT ON THIS WALL’ I then made the most of using the wall to prop my bags against while I lovingly sat on the little bastard.
The hours that followed involved a lot of...
Driving (for Ben) Beer (Not for Ben) Sun, Talking shite, Singing Elton John songs (All, but mainly Ben) Directing a wank documentary (a dodgy documentary about the trip, not masturbation) Sweets, Apples, Rum, swearing at roads, swearing at the Tom Tom, swearing at each other, toilet stops, In-car iPod djin and getting lost in the sticks!
But when we arrived at our destination - the beautiful town of Hay-on-Wye the long journey was all but forgotten and our attention... back to booze. We were handed our first beverage as soon as we set foot in the Green Room/Tent and they continued to flow at a rapid pace until we were escorted to our accommodation. This included six erected tents, each with fully inflated airbeds between four of us, that’s more than a tent each!
The amazing hospitality continued following our arrival back at the venue and well into the evening, and was only enthused after Dave’s flawless performance had transfixed everyone’s attention directly to him. This was undoubtedly one of the finest shows I’ve seen this year, the mood and setting were perfect and littlelostdavids intense and dramatic recital of old and new songs were composed wonderfully against the orchestral ar
ticulation of Bassy’s percussion, which at times allowed his nimble beats to lift the songs higher than the accompanying male falsetto. A major feature of the set was new entry YOU LET GO a truly huge pop ballad that displayed a focused and vastly competent musical ability from its creator as well as more than a hint that Littlelostdavid have the skills to make a massive impression in the charts as well our hearts. The encore was an epic rendition of THE POWER OF LOVE and left all who witnessed breathless and satisfied, if not slightly confused at how such a talent actually exists.
Further drinking then ensued until I reached my limit and abruptly left the soiree to rejoice in the recently unfamiliar practice of sleep!
Ka Choooo, Ka Chooooo, Ka Chooooooo
