So I decide to go down to the Bath International Music Festival even though it has been raining all day. The opening procession was really good. A lot of themed schools taking on board a world music theme. Brazilian dancers leading it were especially good. Missed the first band but Manecas Costa from West Africa were brilliant and then followed by the Cuban Duany y su MamboChambo who really got the Spanish students around dancing. The rain even stopped for a duration of the set. Overall a great night, the fireworks finale had some nice moments but a pretty standard affair. It was a real shame that the weather wasn't nice but most people had a good time. Unfortunately the Bath FM links between the bands was absolutely bobbins. They shouldn't even be on tinpot local radio.
