The rain starts at 0730and continues to annoy

The crew set up regardless of getting wet

They run through sound checks check out the tannoy

A few hardy types appear in plastic ponchos

The performers put on a brave face attempt to entertain

A few minutes of sunshine then a continuation of rain

For the organisers, I can only feel their pain

I might walk over to have a look despite the rain

The punk band bash out a few tunes regardless

Regardless of the rain and lack of audience

Living within earshot of the green we can listen at home

Sitting in the dry or a brief foray two minutes’ walk and we are there

Only when the rain eases off I’m a Fairweather festival goer

The punk band carry on we get there to see the end of their set a good local band

The clouds thin and a weak sun breaks through the crowd swells

And all in all a good weekend is had by all
