⸎ this is the sound

our annual feast of music arts and smiles

on Saturday:

Village Green:

thankfully it stayed dry:

but it was brrrrr indeed:

a fascinating installation by 

Stuart Bowditch and Damien Robinson:

signpost:

recordings donated by the public and 

the Essex Sound Archive:

snippets of other people's lives:

different streets, workplaces, parks, homes:

plug in your headphones and listen:

or put on your hands and 'feelsound':

 

take a seat, get comfy and enjoy

extraordinary sounds by Forest Fringe:

listening to kettles being filled and half heard conversations

while watching the world go by:

snippets of music, accents and song:

1'o'clock at the Uke picnic:

'play this' says Yvie:

so I strum and smile:

I watch bands, laugh at comedy hosted by Sundown Arts 

in the Meadow Tent:

Quirkish Delight make up tales of Dick Van Dyke:

I see friends I haven't seen for years and years:

and some I saw only yesterday:

craziest tent had to be The Bunker hosted by

TenBomb :

we got comfy in Grandpa Summers living room:

hypnotised by colour and random scribbles:

challenged them to pingpong and watched the mayhem:

we did so much more:

all day:

till the cold got to our bones:

and only home and rum would do:
