Shenley Walled Gardens, 15th July 2012
In a busy summer of sport, we carefully planned the date of this concert to avoid too many major sporting events, such as the Mens final at Wimbledon, the finals of Euro 2012, the British Grand Prix. Some of the band like to follow these things! But all did not look good. Weeks of rain had left the ground waterlogged, it was raining everyday. Then the day came. It was dry. It stayed dry. The people who look after the Gardens had done a great job in preparing the ground. And so we played, giving a full concert with no interruptions!
