My sincere apologies to Edward II, Songs of the Siren, Sam Kelly, Flats and Sharps and Frazey Ford.

My deepest regrets too to Lau, Jane Weaver, Fenne Lily, Quantic, John Cooper Clarke, Lady Maisery, Stick in the Wheel, Pronghorn and Natty.

I’m sorry that I didn’t see any of your sets – but there was just so much going on to catch everyone. That’s the beauty and downside of a brilliant festival like this.

Sunday proved to be the sunniest and warmest of the five Larmer Tree days – perfect for lazing in the main arena to see Missouri’s The Hillbenders performing part of their full length version of the rock opera Tommy, in bluegrass style.

This was followed by a low key set by record producer Ethan Johns & the Black Eyed Dogs.

Over to the Arc to see folk legend Martin Simpson with Dom Flemons (of The Carolina Chocolate Drops) performing some serious folk.

Simpson may be a dead ringer for Bobby Ball (circa Not Going Out) and Flemons could have stepped straight from the pages of a Steinbeck novel, but boy they were good.

The pair were tasked with researching and performing old song linking the folk roots of Britain and the USA and here was the fruit of their labours – some intriguing songs, amazing musicianship and a top performance.

Headlining Sunday was the kiddies favourite singer-songwriter Tom Odell, who despite an initially muddy sound, worked through an energetic set that proved surprisingly heavier than expected. And that was down in no small part to Andy Burrows (ex of Razorlight) who proved what a splendid drummer he continues to be.

The festival’s closing and most poignant moment came late into the night with a tribute to the late and legendary DJ Derek who had appeared at Larmer Tree many times before his retirement, subsequent disappearance from his Bristol home and death.

His longtime pal and DJ Count Skylarkin was allowed access to Derek’s immense collection of reggae, ska and soul and played a selection of tunes to an appreciative crowd deep in the woods as Sunday turned into Monday Another excellent Larmer Tree was over. Till next year...
