Yep, I saw them all there. :) There were so many other acts to see but I suppose one can only do so much. I did enjoy the gigs that I was able to watch though. I had been wanting to go to this festival for three years now and having waited this long, I'm quite happy that it didn't disappoint. I must admit that I was a tad disheartened when DMB, Rodrigo y Gabriela and Feist pulled out. Go Gol Bordello even cancelled at the last minute. But the gains outweighed the losses and a great time was had by all. I'm still on a bluesfest high and heaps of thoughts are buzzing through my head. There were far too many notable highlights - a long overdue catchup with Mich, an interesting encounter with some Brazilians, wading through mud at the festival grounds, Paolo Nutini remembering me, Jack Johnson's surprise gig, Ozomatli bringing the batucada to the crowd, the best breakfast after mass on Easter Sunday, John Butler's flawless performance, finding Langos where I least expected them to be, eating chips for the first time in almost 2 months, shower stalls in the hostel, socialising with other backpackers, constant rain in Byron Bay, etc. etc.
I think I'm going again next year. Keen? |
