LeftyP Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 We should have been there by now, flying from Newcastle to Geneva this morning. Sadly, it's all been cancelled - Festival and flights. We were there a few years ago and the atmosphere was amazing. Loads of free concerts on open air stages along the lake shore with stalls and food outlets. Some of the best acts were USA high school bands doing the Glen Miller stuff. Kids from 14 to 18 years old playing like great professionals and supporting each other. Instead, I'm watching the rain pour down in our terraced street in the north of England. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yorks5stringer Posted July 3, 2020 Author Share Posted July 3, 2020 Well you can now 'virtually' be there with a choice of Marvin Gaye or Rory Gallagher amongst many others who lets face it, were not on this year's bill..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skidder652003 Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I'll be giving Tom Misch a miss, saw him last year in Bristol, possibly the dullest gig I've ever been to and I've fallen asleep at a few over the years, only reason I couldn't then was cos it was standing only and I kept getting woken up by some young scallywags pushing into me...
