Well, jolly old T was a bit wet and cold but the entertainment was up to the usual high calibre.

We didn’t have a great start, the fucking car broke down half way between Aberdeen and Dundee. It was then that I discovered my AA membership had expired (of course).

Anyway, on to the AA who sent a total saint out 10 minutes after I called. He got us back to Aberdeen where he took us to a garage who could get the car fixed for when we got back. So we ended up having to hire a car - expensive weekend! (Don’t tell The Wife, for God’s sake)

We were only 2 hours behind schedule in the end so fucking great recovery methinks!

Highlights for me? The Who were awesome, certainly showed the young uns what a great rock band is all about. I’m afraid a bout of temporary unconciousness prevented all three of us seeing The Chillis - that and the fucking freezing rain!

The Strokes were fantastic as usual but the real surprise for me was Manu Chao - incredible!

Anyway, me, The Laddie and his Mate managed to get a wee bit minced on the Friday night after we got the tent up and we continued in that mode right up till we fell over on Sunday night!

Much time was spent in the Slam Tent - just staring slack jawed…

…so that’s why they call it Trance!

Didn’t do the Ceilidh Tent this year, every time we went over they seemed to be between bands…oh well, next year!

Teriffic T!

The Lassie and her friend went their own way so we didn’t see much of them but I believe a good time was had by all.

Big shout to Sarah who claims to be a regular reader of AAFP!!

So tickets go on sale tomorrow morning for next year so I’d better be up bright and early to nab a couple (yes, 9:00am is bright and early for me!)
