Berlin-based folk-rock-funk-pop-prog-blues extravaganza.
Born in the period of great social upheaval and cultural explosion surrounding the fall of the Berlin Wall, Six Daze in the Fridge were an integral part of an energetic hybrid of underground art and music that has since become the legendary foundation of Berlin's bohemian history.
Regular appearances at venues central to the squatted arts collective mindset (Buchhandlung, Tacheles, NotEinang) Six Daze were a regular feature of the period's 60's style 'happening'.
Following an invite to reform and come together some 35 years later to celebrate the period, Six Daze bring their evocative time-stamped musical offering once again to the free-thinking, open-minded, music-loving festival goers of the modern age.

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.
