“The food-festival line up looks like a hip indie band name generator.” A dear friend of mine made this observation as we sipped chilli beer on the roof bar of the Amersham Arms that afternoon. Clumpy, deep, cloud porn Castles flew over us slowly like space ships. He was talking about On Blackheath Festival. I was going there as soon as I could get my arse in gear to stop chatting and giggling. Between leaving this haven to get the bus up the hill, I bumped into Damo of Antlered Man. We probably first met at this venue years ago. I didn’t tell him that his ace band are part of the #WildeLifeAwards started this year, for next. We just hugged and caught up for a bit, but I know that the stars are aligning… And, oh, that chilli beer!
