Here Comes The Sun

Well we've just got the first photos back from Sunday and are really happy them.  Mother nature decided to be on our side and broke out a another gloriously sunny day for us and now, that we've had some time to relax and digest the day I can tell you that thanks to an overwhelming response from our community we felt the whole day was a tremendous success, so thank you!
Our friends at the Clockworks we're great hosts, everyone pitched in and what can I say? Teamwork makes the dreamwork.  We had some great music, food, performances even had our own rag tag stage that we borrowed from D-man's school. 
It's been great to hear over the last 48 hours or so, that everyone had a lot of fun and there were a lot of memorable moments, like Meg jumping up and down screaming whilst Emilie Lecocq spews fiery breath in a pink handmade tweed jacket that's just the right side of the circus.  I remember feeling glad that I'm not the only one who gets that exited about clothes and I can't wait to see more of the pictures.  Don't forget that this event is just the beginning, we've got a fabulous summer planned and our Relaunch Party is already under a month away where we will be exhibiting all of our favourite photos from the day and celebrating our brand new website so stay tuned. x

A Stitch In Time

So it's here finally, tomorrow is the big day. All hands are on deck and the Crooked House is brimming with people. The outfit count is up to 31, everybody's sewing cutting and the knitting machines have been whirring relentlessly all day, even I've been pulled of the computer/phone to muck in on the knitting. There have been a few hiccups but we've been doing our best to put out fires all over the place and as far as I can tell everything seems to be finally coming together. We've dropped off the stage, had hair consultations, found a new make-up artist, picked up food, tracked down decks, finalized outfits, been filmed/interviewed and called to remind just about everyone. All these bits and pieces, odd and ends are really taking form, the excitement is brewing, we're kicking this to-do-list in the ass. Not much else to say except can't wait to see you all tomorrow and we can't thank everyone enough for all their help so far.

Keep Calm and Carry On

Had a minor panic last night. Unfortunately one of the photographers for Sunday pulled out but all is not lost as I got message from Ewan this morning saying that he'd waved some kind of magic wand around and managed to produce two brand new photographers to help out on the day, so here's a massive thanks to Ewan! Also here's a list of the fine acoustic acts that will be participating, as well as some of our friends from Geofest.

The Fontana Instincts
The Longford Family Band
Runaway Jury
Luke Wynne
Tom Gourlay and more...

Not too bad eh? I've also been incredibly reassured by our friends at the Clockworks who will be making the place look lovely and pretty for us. We're looking to kick the day off around 2pm, some vegatarian food (in accordance with Clockworks wishes) will be provided earlier in the afternoon and if you'd like a drink there'll also be a bar. I can't wait to see everyone there in their festival wear. See you on Sunday! Mwah x
