Some bands you only see once. Some bands you never want to see. And some bands you go back to time and time again. For me, the Oysterband fall into the last category and I've lost count of the number of times I've seen them. They tour constantly, they frequently appear at my regular festivals and they even curate a festival of their own on occasion.

My sister and I went to a sopping wet festival at Beverley racecourse this year which had Oysterband headlining one night. Luckily the main stage was in a big marquee so weather didn't matter and lots of singing along and rowdy dancing ensued. Only down side was we drank the marquee's little bar dry (collectively that is, not me and my sister on our own) as nobody wanted to walk across the floodplain outside to the other bars.

Tonight I'm off to see them again. A more intimate (and dryer!) gig this time at Holmfirth Picturedrome. They've been working on a new album so there should be some new songs. The singer's local so this is a venue they like to visit and it's just a short hop over the hills for us. And I'm sure the bar will be well stocked this time.
