POTP '07 - Review, Day One
The first day of Party on the Pitch can only be described as a success. The beer tent was open, the tents were pitched (even those being used by the people camping overnight), food was being served, and the first live music just about kicked off on time! Four great bands had been lined up, and they lived up to their billing...
First on was Ed Freitas, otherwise known as the Cyba Drummer. His abilities with the high-tec kit certainly impressed, and the music made a great start to the evening's entertainment.
The second act was Cloudy, a Northampton band who had stepped in to replace Love Muscle who had had to pull out at the last minute.
The third band of the night was The Modus Vivendi from Milton Keynes. Andi, Paul, Beanie & Sam's energetic act helped up the pace, ready for the evening's finale...
Chris George and the Marshall Band (sponsored by Marshall Amplifiers) needed no introduction at Bletchley. They last performed at Manor Fields 18 months ago, and they didn't disappoint. The highlight for the kids was probably French drummer Farid Medjane's solo which involved using baseball cap peaks, empty beer hotels and a host of other surfaces in place of the drums. Guest singer Phil Brown joined Chris, Farid and guitarist Rob Butterfield on stage. A great way to wind up a great night (though rumour has it that the beer tent stayed up a little longer, and there may have been some karaoke too...)
