Saturday July 22nd 2023
The first of our Rewind festivals takes us to Scone Castle, a Category A-listed historic house near the village of Scone and the city of Perth, Scotland. Built in red sandstone with a castellated roof, it is an example of the Gothic Revival style in Scotland. Scone was originally the site of an early Christian church, and later an Augustinian priory.
Dismal weather, an early start and no vans prompted glum faces as we met up at Sort rehearsal rooms en route to Scotland…
Soon enough though, our transport arrived so we threw in our bags and climbed aboard…
No Roy to pick up as he went ahead yesterday sightseeing so…off we go!
Carl, like in the previous blog brought reading material in lieu of videos…
I spoke about my recent holiday in Northumberland…
(Anarchy Brew Co)
4.1% SESSION IPA
Loaded with grapefruit, lemon and lime. Light bodied enough to keep you coming back for more. Massively hopped with Citra.
Forecast at the moment is wet wet wet…
but clearing up later on in Scotland.
Time for some breakfast…
Floury baps…
Moving on…
Carl found an ingenious way of watching a video…
While I recalled a fine pint I had along Hadrians Wall at the Twice Brewed Brew House…
(Twice Brewed Brewing Co)
Light, easy drinking golden ale. Mosaic hops give a complex fruit flavour leading to a sharp lime finish from the Olicana hops.
Weather getting worse rather than better as we hit Scotland…
Time for some home made banana bread…
Through Glasgow now and weather improving…
Starting to see some nice scenery…
An encouraging road sign…
Then at last some nice weather!
We must be nearly there…
Yes!
Wristband time!
Into the artists tent…
To our dressing room.
We had a walk over to the catering…
Roy had half a banana🍌
A quick look at the running order…
We came out front as Disco Inferno we’re playing…
Carl was meeting his brother Barrie who was in one of the Rewind bars ‘The Little Harp Inn’…
We tried some real ales from the Renegade Brewery, Carl & Barrie had the Mr Chubbs Session Bitter…
I had the Green Man Pale Ale…
Meanwhile Peter and Keith were doing an interview with Perthshire Local Media…
It was time to head back stage and we caught Slim Jim Phantom performing his classic rock n roll…
We all headed back…
Then into the dressing room.
It’s time to go on stage!
The crowd were fantastic!
After the gig we went back out front to watch a couple more acts…
Then Peter and Keith did another interview, this time with Local 80’s Music…
We also got in on the photo😃
We just had time to watch Soul ll Soul from the side of the stage…
Before grabbing a bite to eat and heading off home.
Another fantastic day out!
