Phoenix:  Fanning the flames...

21/8/2015

Some of you may be aware that the Phoenix Alternative Festival was held last weekend in Llanfyllin, Wales.  I can only say that this was a most excellent festival.  It was spread out just enough in the rather lovely grounds of Llanfyllin workhouse, making it just intimate enough for everyone to get to know each other, though just spacious enough that there was plenty of room to get about.  It had a great balance of acts from rock to cabaret to burlesque to folk and more - literally something for everyone.  Not only that, there were 'fringe' style workshops and other activities, not to mention one or two that sprung up organically.  Kudos must go to Dale Rowles of BB Blackdog, and Karin Van Woerden, not to mention awe-inspiring Silver Johnson, for pulling the whole thing of; but special plaudits must go to all the lovely attendees, from performers to traders to attendees to Workhouse staff, all of whom made the event the wonder that it was.

Next year (yes, it's on next year!) , I plan to go earlier if possible - I missed a number of good acts on the Friday night, not to mention the rest of the weekend; and we hope that as well as any writing or GASP radio related service we can offer, we may be able to sneak Crimson Clocks onto the bill!  Watch this space...

A few photos I took of performers and traders are below, you can see more here:

    I'm a writer of steampunk/ fantasy fiction, singer/musician and writer at LM Cooke Music, singer in the parody band Mediaeval Biaetches, occasional historian,  and co-presenter of the Gothic Alternative Steampunk and Progressive web radio show.  Here I will ramble vaguely about stuff.  Friends, countrymen, and people who aren't countrymen, lend me your ears...
