Harrison Festival - Day Five & Six

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

As the Festival moved into mid week the sold out performances kept on coming.  Wednesday and Thursday saw packed houses for both the ‘eclectic’ David Lindley and Scotland’s Peatbog Faeries.  Lindley’s acoustic performance offered the very best in American blues and his demented sense of humour delightfully coloured his many in between song stories.  The Faeries had the dance floor hoppin’ and shoutin’ the whole concert with their unique mix of Rock, Electronica and Folk sounds.  The audience simply lapped up their contagious energy and celtic arrangements played on the bagpipes, fiddles and whistles. 

Wednesdays warm sunny weather made for yet another successful Children’s Day.  Children of all ages happily took part in the many arts & crafts and outdoor activities taking place in and around the Memorial Hall.  Performances by tightwire walker Flyin’ Bob and comic daredevil Checkerboard Guy were huge fun for both kids and adults.
