Egg on your Face

Found myself back at the Crow Point Festival standing next to Eggsy from 'Goldie Looking Chain' wearing my 'number one criminal hat' I wanted to tell him how proud I was of him when he represented Wales with that awful creature Ann Robinson but ended up saying....

'Did you have a good night up there?' he laughed and said that he had had a very bad hangover from the previous night but he had had a great time in that night's performance. He was so approachable and friendly not at all bothered that we were bombarding him with questions.
I was pleased I had made the effort to return, it had been raining when I made the decision, but I knew I was going to have a great night when I saw a man with fairy wings, a cowboy hat and earings dance past.....but the most surreal sight of the night was a very old man and I am telling you this man was old, sitting in his wheel chair, waving his fingers on his one hand thoroughly enjoying 'Roni Size' the drum and base 'DJ' I was going to ask him if I could take his photograph, because he must have been 100 years old, I had had a few glasses of wine so my courage was to the fore, but I realised that this old chap was revelling in the fact that he was sitting surrounded by youngsters bopping away and could probably remember all too clearly when he was their age and able to prance around. I wasn't going to be the person to bring him back down to earth by saying something crass like 'Can I take your photograph, as it looks like you might die tomorrow, or in the next minute actually?' I am joking of course, but what excuse would I have made to take his photograph, none meeting the occasion popped into mind.
Again I investigaged the stage next to the beer tent and again there was a very good act, they filled the stage with wind instruments and talent. The singer announced the next dance was to be 'the sausage dance' the audience didn't need any prompting they flung themselves around pretending to be sausages. They called themselves .....well, I can remember the word 'keebab' and that's it. I meant to pick up their card as I thought they would make good entertainment in a wedding. They were lively and got the crowd going but 'Goldie looking Chain' were due to start on the main stage so I missed the end of their act.
'Goldie Looking Chain' danced onto the stage and to my delight I noticed a young man in front of me sporting his yellow jacket jumping up and down forgetting he was an official. He was giving it some stick when during the third song he realised he was still on duty or wearing his official jacket. He quickly whipped it off and shoved it in his pocket and continued his head banging dance.
On the way out rolled down my car window as I passed a group of policeman and pointed to my hat shouting 'I am a criminal I am' they laughed and waved me off into the night.....
