Hey Richard,
Can you believe it? We’re finally home, after almost 5 months on the road (across the rest of Canada, Ireland, Scotland, England, France, Germany and Prague), now finding our feet in sweltering Melbourne (it’s 35 degrees today!).
As I settle back into life here, I’ve been thinking back over what an adventure it’s been…
So this is a little note to say a HUGE thank you.
We absolutely loved being part of Summerfolk, and I hope you enjoyed having us.
I can honestly say that, for me, it was THE highlight of the 2½ months in Canada. Total stand out.
Turning the Travelodge into musicians head quarters is a stroke of genius. It was so exciting to meet and play with so many musicians – a rare chance to celebrate our nomadic community together. Also, we felt incredibly well looked after – the hotel, the catering, the instrument lock-up, the tirelessly helpful volunteers, the drivers… Throw in the inclusive vibe, listening audiences and gorgeous setting (and, you know, some half decent music too), and you can see why I’ve been raving about Summerfolk to everyone. We actually included Summerfolk in our weekly road movies, you can see it here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zepUYHq_YL8
So congratulations. I hope you had a fantastic festival too, and that you’re well and happy, gearing up for the winter and another successful event next year.
Thanks again – I’ll look forward to our paths crossing again in the future,
Chloe
PS LOVED mixed-up bands! So much fun, and a great chance to get to know some wonderful musicians. Just brilliant.
