Always good fun, the Castaway parties. Tom started doing these free concerts as a thankyou to his fans, but now since he's become a Radio 6 DJ these are the only concerts he does. He often invites old friends such as Raphael Doyle to join in his music, also Tom invites young, relatively unknown artists that he likes to showcase their talents. Some of these I also like!! This year there weren't any guest acts I disliked, and I really enjoyed Tom Robinson Band as well. Guests included Chris T-T who had an excellent song/poem about the Countryside Commission (not very complimentary ;-) ), Stoney (a rock band from Sheffield) and the lovely Lee Griffiths, who is a bit of a regular.
Other Val travelled down with us, and joined us for Sunday Lunch in the Priory Arms, Stockwell before the Party and for drinkees at the White Horse (Sloany Pony?!), Parsons Green afterwards. Met Magnus and June from CAMRA there, as well as regular attendees Len and Sue, who are also big Bluehorses fans.
Bill Badger took lots of photos, although we couldn't find anyone famous to pose with the News and Ale. I'll put them in the gallery when he gets around to downloading them ;-)
