From there it was another new to me treat, namely the Alistair Goodwin Band. Seemingly world famous in Hampshire, they offered an astonishing mix of 60’s psychedelia, a la Third Ear Band, with a touch of classic 70’s rock, yet remain nominally acoustic. Nominally, that is, bar the remarkable electric cello of Nigel Rippon, who flays his instrument within an inch of its life, squeezing squalls of sound out, alongside gentle swathes of bowed strings Meanwhile Goodwin sings, a mash-up of Robert Plant and Jackie Leven.

Wow. Only mid-afternoon and I’m reeling.
