Mountain on the fire

Following the savage leaping of Moneen I decamped to the Claridge Homes stage to watch the savage leaping of Sarah Harmer (actual violent jumping not included). Unfortunately, before she could come on and play, poor Industry Minister Tony Clement had to come on and do his government festival funding spiel alongside one of the radio station DJs.

Well, that was uncomfortable. On to the lovely and talented Ms. Harmer.

Visual artist and guest vocalist for many Julie Fader - aka Julie MacDonald - chips in keyboards and backing vocals.

Sarah's music is quite pleasant. Actually it may lack some of the abrasive qualities I require (right then, anyway) so I wandered off after a few songs to see and hear what else was on offer.
