Bank Holiday Weekend Festival At The Command House

Ah, the command house, somewhat faded recently(decent types buggered off to uni, leaving the chavs open to attack it and befoul it with their presence) but still a great place. Over the bank holiday weekend there was a sort of mini music festival, which had a lot of local bands playing. It was also free. This meant I had no reason not to go.
The first day(saturday) had a few decent bands, includind two minutes from tuesday, who were pretty good, and whose CD i got(I was the only one that bought it though). There were several other half-decent bands, but the main attraction for me was the delta, who I have seen before, and who are a fast rising band, worthy of all the praise they get. They are also great live, and despite the croud not being the best, they went down pretty well. Last up was opus bridge, who seemed to have a following cheering for the. They were more metal than the rest of the set, and not that good at times, but a decent band to finish off the night.
So to sunday. As mentioned already on these pages, it rocked. I was there for the Barbs of course, but there were some good bands on before them, providing a decent warm up.
The Barbs arrived, and it was good. They played new songs, and dumped some of thir favourites out of the set, but it didn't really matter, whatever they play, it is great, and especially so with the new stuff. The fans that were there enjoyed it loads, and it builds anticipation for their next gig-at the tap 'n' tin.
