Well, the unpredictably crazy life of Ian Martin continues.... Today, I found myself (with about 60 seconds notice!), having to run a 400m relay race at School Sports Day! A few hours later, with stiffening legs, I was playing the bass guitar in an open-air concert! After the concert, I was busy packing equipment for next weeks expedition, when I bumped into an old student who invited me to a concert that he was going to - in Bethesda!?!
So after getting home, at about 8pm, I walked along our track from The Cottage and soon found myself in the slate quarry - at a music festival! Unbelievable! Mike Peters from the Alarm was just finishing his set and none other than Slade were about to take the stage!
I emailed Neil immediately, who replied saying he'd seen them in 1973 and they were quite good!
Bethesda, not being a big place, meant that I soon found student Jack and his crew and had a fabulous time dancing away in the moonlight! - they were indeed very good, especially considering they'd been gigging non-stop for the last 50 years! It took me nearly ten minutes to walk home afterward and I climbed into bed wondering if the day had just been a daydream!... Totally bonkers...
