Midlands Music Festival

Oh God.

Another addled weekend beckons and there's nothing I can do about it. Wrinkly Joe insists. Jimbo wants to go. Cursing Jack will provide the accommodation. What the fuck? We have to go.

Last year wasn't great, now, I have to tell you. Not great at all, at least in terms of the accommodation. (Which was a cheap tent that leaked and destroyed my €700 camera, but we won't talk about that too much). A tent that leaked and a sleeping bag that froze me. A sleepless, wet, cold night and a long snooze in some Mullingar pub.

A decision. Go Home!

Two decisions. Don't!

As a result, a sublime moment before the superlative Lambchop. And therefore all the hardship made worth it, in spite of the dear beer and the bad food and the having to wake up from drink in the middle of the day.
