I do like a proper double bass in an indie band, particurlalrly when, like Oliver Halvorson here, the musician wields a bow - the Night Flight gig at the Lodge Stage.

I made the right decision getting to the Lodge Stage first thing on Saturday for the excellent Elanor Moss - the heavens opened just after I got there so being under canvas was a bonus.

Adrian Crowley's deep voice and slow songs are reminiscent of Leonard Cohen - brought from Galway to Deer Shed's Lodge Stage.

Jazz energy from the young band Plantfood in the tiny Acorn Stage

If a few more people had got up and danced to Plantfood then the many outside the Acorn Stage will have been able to join in and not got drenched in the pouring rain!

Whoever they are, these guys had not read the Deer Shed programme which said that students from Bradford School of Art would be performing mellow acoustic classics in this tent. Great fun!

Back in 2019 we saw a band called Self Esteem on a smaller stage here at @deershedfestival. Today on the main stage, easily the biggest crowd of the festival.

John Grant always seems more at home at a grand piano than gyrating at the front of the stage!

We do seem to keep bumping into John Grant at festivals. Won't complain!

Pip Blom were moved to the main stage to fill in for Dry Cleaning, who we really wanted to see but cancelled late due to illness. Probably covid striking again.
