A look back on a glorious weekend for music and celebrations as the Off The Tracks festival rings in its 30th anniversary.
Great music and plenty of sunshine, real ale, plus a sprinkling of festival magic all add up to contribute to this magnificent event. It’s a family friendly festival with a large span of great bands spread throughout the days over a number of stages.
So many highlights, including Tom C Walker who is a young blues musician playing the main stage. He delivers a beautifully crafted set that engages the audience from the start. As his set continues, the buzz around the festival grows and Tom attracts more and more people eager to see what he’s all about. Following numerous encores, the crowd show their appreciation with cheers and chants for more.
John Otway is a singer song-writer who has built a very loyal and large following over the years and he dertainly doesn’t fail to delight. A high point of the set sees John showing off his theremin playing skills as the band blast through The Osmonds Crazy Horses.
The Saturday evening headliner Dreadzone are welcomed to the stage like returning heroes. The audience are primed and ready from the earlier bands and now look set to dance the night away with everyone in the marquee eager to follow. What a great band to top off a special day.
