17/07/13 - Thee Bald Knobbers: Church of Chaos

Casting one’s mind back to last year’s festival brings up many a clouded memory. Amongst these, for plenty, will be the madness that ensued on the Saturday afternoon. Bathed in early afternoon sunshine the disco tent was, as far as we remember, a rather relaxed place to be. Enter Thee Bald Knobbers, a loose collection […]
