A massive crowd had gathered mid-afternoon for Sunday Driver, who beautifully surmised the essence of an acoustic performance, bringing together the innocence of English folk and shimmering vibrancy of Eastern influences.
Yet all of this talent was furthered by the utter highlight of the day when one of John Peel's championed bands, Magoo, bestowed their supremely different class of act to the fair. The beauty of this much talked-about group is that their music doesn't alienate, but accepts, includes and inspires - potentially the point of the fair itself. A mixture of hand-clapping quirkiness and pixie-like harpsichord and piccolo was propelled to an esteemed speciality in their set by the refusal to stick to a formula. What sounds good and feels good stays. The result is true elegance and a philosophy that uplifted the souls of tired listeners.
The strange mixture of weather, from clouds to blue skies, cheering sunshine to powerful downpours, seemed fitting for the fair's swirl of alternative life. With the focal point being the massive range of outstanding music available from Cambridgeshire bands, inclusion and inspiration appear to be inherent. Even the weather had realised that a varied mixture equals serenely exciting celebration! BBC Cambridgeshire.
