Dead jealous

So last night, Jude was one of the luck few with The Polyphonic Spree at the Barfly.

Coincidentally, yesterday was the biggest day in Ipswich's music calendar: Ipswich Music Day.

Here's what the main sponsor's stage looked like at the height of the event. Not exactly buzzing is it?

OK, to be fair I framed that photo carefully, the rain was flooding down, and that was only one of six stages. (The crowd was much busier at the stage run by Gopher, Greenbelt's old site builders.)

Still, I know where I'd rather have been.

On Friday this same park plays host to Busted, then a week later it's a band I'm ashamed to name. This is why I'll readily travel a hundred miles to go to a gig, even one less significant than the Spree's album launch.
