The Peace festival was entertaining, especially if you are partial to sitting in the sun watching singers & bands, whilst drinking a crate of beer. That is a fine way to pass an afternoon. And in a fine touch of festival irony, the people playing on The Acoustic Stage were delayed because the electricity generator was broken. Go figure.
Just to give you an idea of the sheer scale of the Peace Festival, here's a photo of the stage:
It got a bit busier later on.
Could have happily stayed there all afternoon, but we had pies to visit. The PP festival is an annual event, in the Tap and Spile. Ticket holders each get a plate of half pork pies, around 10 different ones, and then they can eat them and also score them against different categories on a scoring sheet. A bit like Eurovision, but with pork pies rather than European singers. I am unsure what the point of the scoring is, maybe they congratulate a champion pie-maker at the end of the day.
Sadly, because the pie-eating is ticket only, and we had no tickets, we could only watch and smell the pies. No tasting possible (unless you steal somebody's leftovers). So this part of Yorkstock was slightly disappointing. Had some more beer though, so it wasn't a complete waste of time.
I finished the day with a mini film festival (ie we watched a dvd). Blade 2. Not exactly a fantastic film, but I was heartened to find out later that the main bad guy was none other than Luke Goss (ex of Bros). Good to see he's finding work. Or at least that he has a career that doesn't involve him putting out records any more.
