Truisms of conventions and music festivals: the further in you get, the tireder and less coherent accounts become. Without further ado, Friday music:

First up, Amy Kendall, from the folk side of the blues spectrum. Sweet and soulful acoustic.

Then Fiona Boyes, this year's festival ambassador. Fiona was hilarious, with songs in the bawdy, entendre-filled barrelhouse tradition. All those songs that aren't really about how the singer wants their sugarbowl filled or loves how you grind their coffee beans? Here in spades :). As she said, she can be sweet, she just can't maintain it.

Then the Glen Terry Band, with jazzy blues that had a big-band feel. I never thought a Calypso beat would work with twelve-bar blues, but it totally does.
