Piano 64 – Second Fest
The Guardian’s Second fest festival is on right now and well worth checking out!
As I wandered about the festival, I kept my eyes open for a piano.
And suddenly, there it was, in the indie tent. Ok, it’s a keyboard/synth but they count as pianos. I jumped on stage and jammed with…um…I’ve no idea who they were.
I decided to play ‘Kick Out the Jams’ by the MC5, as I’d always fancied shouting out the intro bit from a stage:
‘Right now, right now, it’s time to kick out the jams, mutherfuckers!”.
That’s me on the left of the stage…
The crowd were, as you can see, in a state of delirium as I mimicked Fred “Sonic” Smith’s guitar solo.
As the song came to a close I could see several burly bouncers approaching with evil intent in their troll-like eyes. I quickly bowed to the crowd and fled to the VIP bar.

Second Fest was fun. But it would have been much nicer if there was more going on at a time I could participate. I’m not a Pet Shop Boys fan, but I wish I could have seen them, but nooo, this girl here had to go to sleep :-S
Now I have finally read the entire blog!
About pianos, when you were at the SS Galaxy, did you play only that piano you mentioned? There is another one at the ball room.
Hi Wilhelmina, I didn’t see the one in the ballroom, i was in a hurry to leave! Hope to see you soon
I wish I could have make it… awwww
They are going to do another next year, see you there!
