London Feis

It's raining heavily on and off; the wind is battering the branches of the tree in the back garden off our bedroom window; I'm nursing a gentle hangover - all the ingredients of an Irish June afternoon, and therefore fitting that the London Feis is taking place in Finsbury park this weekend.

Time to test  the Supajam free ticket offer. I received an email from them during the week confirming I had the ticket but necessitating download of a barcoded version instead, to present at the box office today. No problem. They also asked for an admin fee which they apparently forgot to request at the time I got the ticket. If I was feeling generous, I could pay the admin fee when downloading the new ticket. This may go a little way towards explaining the 'too good to be true' offer of a free £70 ticket - in that it was too good to be true. Supajam held their hands up though, and didn't 'force' anyone to pay the fee - no doubt realising what a PR disaster that might prove, especially (given the amount of hits I've had on the blog through "Supajam scam" keyword searches) that people don't entirely believe they're above board.

I'm leaving in about 20 minutes to head up to north London - will try and post to the blog if and when I'm "in". Although given O2's less than amazing performance at mass participation events, I probably won't have a signal. Can't guarantee I'll stay until the end - it's currently a toss up between Bob Dylan and avoiding pneumonia, unless the weather improves.

In tribute to the afternoon's entertainment, here's my favourite song from the day's headliner....
