This past Saturday, 5th September 2009, I've been fortunate to play at TimFest 2009.  It was a celebration of music as well as that of the birthday of its organiser, my good friend, Tim Webb of White Light.

White Light played a set, then I went on to play several songs,and  then the former played another set.  Afterwards, a mutual friend from my open mic nights at the Garage who calls himself Catfish, took the stage for his set, most of which I played percussion and harmonised.  After another musician, named Rusty, played only two songs, White Light closed out with another set, this time with myself jamming on two songs.

Playing at TimFest 2009 was a great experience for me because it allowed me to share my music in a longer set with a larger audience than at my open mic nights.  It was the closest thing to either Woodstock or Lollapalooza that I have ever come to to this day.  I hope to have this experieince again next year.
