Where's the love

After Dream Theatre wrapped things up on the main stage, it was a short walk to a good position at the other stage in front of the war museum to catch some of Loudlove's performance. I was very impressed with their show at last year's Bluesfest. I wasn't quite feeling it to the same degree this time around, but they put ona fun set and frontman Peter Hammond's joking about Iron Maiden's reaction to hearing reggae tunes before their own set were fairly amusing.

The man himself.



Keyboardist Emile Leitch, axeman Sean Hendy and a bit of drummer Dan Loach.



This band likes their porkpies.



Singalong action with bassist Hans Levac!



Gripping action!



More Hans!



More Emile!



More Dan!



Jumping action!



Bonus Emile!



More Sean!



More gesticulating!



Then I zipped off to catch some of the Kelp Records Showcase ... as for Loudlove, they seem to be between shows.
