As with Marillion on Saturday, Steve Hackett on Thursday, Friday's inclusion of The Australian Pink Floyd Show was rock within the overall folk-rock festival. Makes for a nice mix of musical styles.
If I hadn't know that this was the Australian Show, listening alone, I might have mistaken them for the real thing. Their sound is true to Floyd. And, performing on a very wet evening, the atmosphere was just perfect.
We'd been drenched, soaked, earlier in the day by an impressive cloudburst. Don't ever imagine that rain will deter British festival-goers. The umbrellas went up, the macs and ponchos went on, the plastic bags went over cameras, and nobody gave a hoot for what they looked like. It was all about the music.
