D Fest Drayton, Oxfordshire 2010

"London Is Big But Drayton Is Massive!" Craig Evans started D fest this year mainly to relieve symptoms of “After Truck Syndrome”.  Not shy about booking some of the best local acts around, and along with a team of local support could Drayton become the next Steventon?.. An eclectic mix starting with chilled acoustic music outside from Mark Bosley, If all Else Fails and Lost Dogs and building to a sweaty finish with Empty Vessels, and Dead Jerichos rocking out in the Red Lion pub itself.  Yellow Fever was the youngest band, seemingly following in the Dead Jericho’s footsteps; other acts included Very Nice Harry, Dial F for Frankenstein, The Scholars and a guy called Trev Williams.  Best highlights were Spring Offensive straight from their recent tour, the local drunk chap who probably hasn’t ever danced so much in his life, and a bloke getting his legs waxed for Childreach! Well done D Fest!
