The place: Little Bytham, Lincolnshire (http://homepages.which.net/~rex/bourne/lbytham.htm)
The venue: The Willoughby Arms (http://www.willoughbyarms.co.uk/)
The event: The Bythams Music Festival (including a Beer Festival) (http://www.bythamsmusicfestival.co.uk/index.html)
This was the second Bythams Music Festival, a not-for profit event raising funds for local and regional worthy causes. This year's supported charities are Lincolnshire & Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance; St John's Ambulance; and the local parish churches.
The event showcased up-and-coming local and regional talent. All performers gave their time with no fees attached.
Vince Dean - "the Bard of Uffington" was one of the first performers ...
... followed by Matthew Ord
One of our favourite acts, playing many crowd-pleasing songs, was Ferral & The Tom Cats
The final act was Laughton's Last Stand, a Stamford-based rock 'n' roll band
There was also a hot-air balloon ...
... which set off at quite a pace in the windy conditions ...
... when it returned, it gave short "rides" in the dark (no higher than 6 feet!)
The Willoughby Arms hosted the event and included a variety of ales on tap.
The local farmer kindly allowed us to stay overnight in his field, next to the pub.
A thoroughly enjoyable event and an excellent Lincolnshire breakfast in the pub on Sunday morning.
