Wow…. what a weekend that was and I must say how happy I was to be a part of it all. Most will know that I was at the helm along side our brother in arms Staggerin’ Matt from Human Disease promotions at the Mighty Purple Turtle (the second stage) and we really did have some of the sexiest and filthiest bands with us over the weekend. Whether it be the grooves and swagger of the likes of Trippy Wicked or Orchid to the down right crushingness of Iron Witch or Spider Kitten this place was truly the place to be!!

After parties involving the Desertscene and Steak DJs or Classic Rock veterans meant we really earnt our hangovers partying into the early hours and even had a nice impromptu visit from some dirty Orange Essex folk at the end of sunday night meaning that things did come to a premature end but that was not going to stop the horde of Desertfesters having fun as they continued drinking into the early hours of Monday!

There was WAY too many good times to mention but if i had to name just one band as a highlight it would have to be the welcomed return of the mighty IRON CLAW and what a bunch of thoroughly nice chaps too… i was told by the guitarist that it was their first trip to London since 1970 so thats why i think they really do deserve a special mention!!

ANYWAY THATS IT FROM ME…. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO PARTIED WITH US AND SEE YOU AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!!

To keep you going until then here is a short bit of the action I filmed from Stubb who packed the place out for the first time of the weekend on Friday:
