Our final Let’s Rock festival of the season takes us to Earlham Park, Norwich. The park lies 3 miles west of the city centre and covers 88 acres of open parkland sloping towards the River Yare.
We opted for an earlier start than needed to fit in a pub stop.
Carl & Keith at the ready…
Peter sorting out the float…
Weather overcast but getting better!
First off picking up Alex & then Roy…
Film for the day is Seven Psychopaths…
Quick stop for a bacon bap…
Then back to the film…
Weather improving…
Our stop-off village of choice today is Wymondham…
Making good time…
Eventually we arrived in Wymondham…
Our pub of choice is the Green Dragon…
Take your marks…
Keith chose the Dizzy Blonde…
While the rest of us had the Oakham Citra…
We ordered our food and went outside into the beer garden…
Fish & Chips all round…
We had another pint then made our way back out front…
Then back on the bus for the remainder of the journey…
Wasn’t too long before we arrived at the park…
Time to collect our wristbands…
Some relaxation with tea and biscuits…
Had a quick look at the line-up…
We went out front to watch Neville Staple…
Then headed over to the VIP bar…
We ordered Atlantic Pale Ale while watching the crowd being entertained by Nathan Moore…
Carl was meeting his brother Barrie who was on holiday in Norwich…
As time was getting on we had a last photo in the VIP before heading off backstage.
On the way we bumped into Dee, a lovely Farm fan…
Now backstage, Carl is explaining to Keith how bad the Atlantic Pale is this week…
At last, time for us to go on…
Fantastic crowd!
It was a great atmosphere at the festival and very thirsty work!
Time to get a bite to eat and enjoy a mellow moment…
Watched some of Heaven 17 from side of stage…
Then the Happy Mondays from the VIP…
Back stage with Bez & Rowetta…
And Neville Staple…
Time for us to leave as we were staying over in Norwich and playing Rewind South in Henley the following day.
What a great day out we had!
