Clapton has still got what it takes

Enjoyable weekend around Harewood in Warfedale where we went to see Eric in Concert. Stayed at a nice site for two nights (Maustin Park) where we could get back in, after being out late. There were many other campers doing the same thing - very handy for Harewood House events - and we even had a barbeque the first night. We visited the house and gardens in the afternoon and left the van on the car park hard standing instead of the festival field. Worked out very well as it had rained for a couple of hours earlier.


Excellent concert, if you like Clapton in his bluesy mood, but disappointed a lot of people expecting the more popular stuff. Eric does do what he likes these days - but then he is still a God. Impressed by the sound system and video screens (we were near the back) - how do they get those rock steady close ups with no obvious cameras?


Superb setting for a concert, down by the lake with the magnificent house up on the hill in the sunset. Even had red Kites circling over the crowd looking for scraps from the food tents. A memorable event. Got the program but not the T shirt!


The Sugar Babes are in concert there in August. Rosemary says - no way!
