@BenCotterill @Colin631 been to Blue Dot Festival a couple of times and it makes for a really good focal point for it all. "Hurrah for Science!"

#BlueDotFestival taking a 'fallow year' due to the rains onsite this year.
Guess we're going to see more of this as Climate Change hits, Festivals are one of the few things this island does well.

#YoungFathers are indeed 'intense' and what everybody says about their live act is true, caught them at #BlueDotFestival

#bluedotfestival was definitely harder work with torrential rain and young children to reckon with, but I'm glad I went!
The science exhibits were top notch, the art and activities lots of fun (especially the Actual Reality Arcade and Cloud Chamber), and the music every bit as good as I'd expect.
Sadly I wasn't able to stick it out for the whole thing or even late into the evenings. Hopefully next time I go I'll be able to get the full benefit of what is undoubtedly a great event.
A few highlights from another wonderful #BluedotFestival at Jodrell Bank. It was muddy good fun.

Another #BlueDotFestival discovery, #7ebra
We first heard of them when they were doing a set on #Riley&Coe as we drove up to the festival on the Wednesday and this tune in particular grabbed us.
Cosy little set in the Nebula tent, where the duo wound up their UK tour (which they thoroughly enjoyed, and discovered #Greggs and northern gravy)

#Cmat was a discovery from #BlueDotFestival, cracking stage presence. Never thought I'd be dancing to Irish Country & Western but I have #JohnGrant to thank for that.
Love to see this lady do a stage at Glastonbury, she's got the superfans to make it kick off. A lovely moment when the girl next to me held up a banner she'd made specially requesting a song which sadly wasn't in the set list but Cmat gestured to her to come over to the stage exit for a signing later

One of the many joys of #BlueDotFestival is hanging out with the veterans of Manchester's halcyon days, people in their 50s still caning almost like it were the early 90s again (though knowing limits and taking care of knees)
 The roar in the Orbit tent as Blue Monday was dropped into the mix.....

This is how you have a good time.
