Setting off at 10.36. A hard journey of 246 miles with major slowdowns all up the M6, arriving c. 17.20.

A star arrives?...

In the food tent, Paul Young introduced himself: quite unnecessary – I told Paul he is on my i-Pod in the faves file. Also a little socializing with pals in the excellent Here & Now House Band & Belinda Carlisle’s superb guitarist, who was in the House Band for T’s recent dates in Ireland.

00.34    The Minx was on at 19.36 & immediately hurtled into action to engage the audience, with considerable success.

A good journeying back, the first 90 minutes on country roads. Always interesting to find oneself in places that we would be unlikely to discover intentionally.
