Hi All,
Rather than resurrecting the old thread I thought I’d create a new one! I’ll start with a few shots from a festival I’ve just worked over the weekend. I’ve done this gig for around 12 years now and it’s steadily grown year by year, and this one was the biggest yet. My job was to mix front of house sound for the bands who weren’t carrying touring engineers, so I did probaby 10 bands over the 3 days. All good fun!
The view from my PM5-D mixing desk before the first day (Friday) starts. There’s still a bit of green stuff down there!
Something like 60,000 watts of L’Acoustics V-DOSC made me a happy sound engineer!
Calvin Harris doing his thing, and sounding remarkably like Pendulum at times!
And from the FoH tower…
Doves, rather backlit!
The analogue master desk that the band desks were fed into and where the splits to the main system and broadcast/recording feeds came from. We had a few toys on this gig!
On festivals like this there’s usually a tower built in the middle of the audience to house sound and lighting desks, cameras and other bits, so I took a wander up to the top level where the lighting and video guys resided while The Zutons were on.
Looking back from the tower, showing one of the PA delay arrays and a few more people!
The view from behind my desk while mixing The Futureheads:
And finally… A bit of mud! All good fun!
And just for fun, a very brief video from one of the earlier bands on (I think) Saturday. My fingers look even fatter on video!

Torkington Park, Hazel Grove has a “secret garden”… 
…as well as some flower beds
But the main event of the day as a 50 minute journey away by bus to see the Manchester Day Parade. Couple of acrobats:
some dancing
whilst I’m still trying find out how this fits in with the “Voyage of Discovery” theme 
Full Torkington Park set is here

Kabir, I think it’s just one of those styles that may have become widespread at the time. Have got some more photos to upload from Sunday

@David Kerr – Bramall Hall in design looks exactly like Gregynog Hall in Wales. Is there some kind of connection between the architecture of the two buildings?

Three from Bramall Hall Park near Stockport today.
I’m afraid this isn’t quite as focused as I’d have liked.
Some frequent showers meant a lot of the flowers had raindrops on them.
Bramall Hall itself.

The photo I would have loved to take was at the far right of the fourth picture,where the toddlers from the Town Hall nursery were lined up on the pavement waving Union Flags.
Not supposed to photograph children these days without parents’ permission,let alone display on t’internet.

Nice photos Mrs “B”, but a sad day for some.
Looking at the parade, and the very noticable difference in height of some, reminds me of that bit in the song, “The long, and the short, and the tall, they get no promotion” etc.

It doesn’t get any better than this – a 25 centigrade, dry, empty road solo ride down the west side of Loch Ness to Fort William and Glen Nevis, then across through Kingussie and Grantown.

What a marvellous photo. Is that an all singing dancing posh digital camera with macro lens…or your phone?:):)
Nothing posh,just a simple digital camera which I keep on the Automatic setting – it does have a range of settings but a snail would have enough time to leg it by the time I’d worked out which one to use.

Nah Pete it was taken via a satellite in space, nothing as common as a phone camera for Mrs. “B”.;)
