Sunday’s Sundae, like last year, wasn’t quite as great weather-wise, though the rain did hold off this time around and spirits remained high. I’d seen a number of nutcases running around in practically nothing over the course of the day and it became apparent why, when they took to the stage in the afternoon to promote the Pants to Poverty line of, er, pants.
Even Billy Bragg got in on the action…
Rounding things off were Doves, who prompted a somewhat civilised, yet mildly worrying rush to the stage area for their set. Hit after hit flowed, with a superb finale in ‘There Goes The Fear’. No messing, no encores.

After this, it was a swift pint in VIP, then a brisk walk to Clapham Common underground for my journey home to sunny Manchester. Another good weekend’s work.
