Easter Sunday at Bluesfest

Easter Sunday at Bluesfest, and yet more rain

This post is a follow up post to my Good Friday post 
Good Friday(?) at Bluesfest 

about my day out at Bluesfest.

The first thing that met me on Easter Sunday at Bluesfest were more dark clouds.

Dark and Stormy at Bluesfest?

So it seemed appropriate to duck into this new bar run by the Bundaberg Rum company -

Bundaberg and Bears 
and try a dark and stormy.

Cigar box guitars

Then I wandered around looking at the interesting stalls scattered about the grounds,
 like the one I wrote about here a few days ago -
Cigar Box Guitar Sync

I love those organic donuts

Then it was off to the food tent for a bite to eat while the heavens opened up above us.

Raincoat time

Gumboot time for those who have them.
I wasn't one of them unfortunately.

Once I was fueled up and the rain had died down I stepped out to see who there was to check out playing in the concert tents.

Luka Bloom on stage Easter Sunday

First artist for the day for me was Luka Bloom.

I particularly liked this song above for some reason.
Flow

After listening to Luka Bloom it was back out into the drizzle and while walking around I happened to catch an act I saw last year - Brother Fox, playing in a little silver caravan to a captive audience.

I saw Brother Fox playing Bluesfest 2012, after winning the busking competition and can say that they were worthy winners.

Peter Noble, the man himself, on
the Rockwiz stage Easter Sunday.

Walking past the Rockwiz tent I saw they had Mr. Bluesfest himself 
Peter Noble on stage asking him about next years line up.
Apparently, he says he is in talks with Elvis.

One Bluesfest fan was really getting into the swing outside the Crossroads tent;-)

Jon Anderson, lead singer from
the band YES on stage Sunday.

My mate in the UK would have liked how Jon played quite a few songs on his ukelele.

Roger Hodgson on stage
Easter Sunday at Bluesfest.

Then it was time for the man I had come down from Brisbane to see and hear -
Roger Hodgson.

Roger Hodgson

It's raining again :-)/:-(

Right before Roger started singing the heavens opened up as much as they had all day, including afterwards that day as well.

And even storming, as well.

Just as Roger got on stage there was one fork of lightning hit pretty close by and a massive rumble of thunder soon followed, but that was it.
Just the one strike.
After that it just pored down on the tent throughout his songs.
Well, I guess it had to if you had read my post about Good Friday;-)

Roger Hodgson on the
big screen at Bluesfest.

One of my favourite Roger Hodgson songs is

'Lovers in the Wind' and I was lucky enough to see/hear him perform this song, as well.

Xavier Rudd and dancers on stage Sunday

Then it was off to see Xavier Rudd play.

possession of a fan;-)

Xavier Rudd reduced to the $1 table?-)

The Lumineers Bluesfest 2013

The I watched 'The Lumineers' do a few songs including the song in the clip below, and then I hit the road back to Brisbane ... that was after trying to find where I had parked my bloody car.
