Festival Time

Tweet

Everybody's having festivals this time of year. I spent the weekend in Hamilton and I could have gone to the Greek Festival, or the Cactus Festival, but opted for the Waterdown Artsfest. Lots of live music there. I caught the end of Old Man Luedecke's set, about three songs, including The Joy of Cooking. (I took a look in the Joy of Cooking... if I'm not mistaken, the answer is bacon...) Also caught a bit of The Vaudvillian. They weren't on one of the stages, just set up at the side of the road. My friend and I walked around a bit then had dinner (fish and chips at the pub, where I also had a half of Guiness). And we got back just in time to catch Rita Chiarelli's set. Boy, was she in top form! and was backed by an all-female band. We even danced. Then we headed over to the other stage to catch Lighthouse. But they were late getting to town and it was almost an hour after when they were supposed to start. When they finally got going, they played some unfamiliar tunes and we decided to leave. Should have stayed for Jully Black at the other stage. She at least started on time.
