What a beautiful day to be at Silverstone. Loads of fun, loads of beer, loads of Minis and a few Lambrettas for good measure.
Bumped into quite a few people that had 'Dity Rock n Roller' T shirts that had been bought on the tour, and it was nice to have a chat with them and their kids (also sporting 'Weapon' T shirts!!)..

Twisted Wheel took to the stage at 8.30 belting out 'Lucy The Castle'. The sound was excellent, none of that 'wavey' effect you get a most festivals (due to the wind). The lads looked quite at home up there and on the big screens. Their 45 min set included 'Shes A Weapon' 'Bouncing Bomb' 'Oh What Have You Done' and I was really chuffed that they played the newie 'Turn Around' which won over a lot of Weller fans, as being on the huge stage the mamouth guitar sound came over fantastically well.
RAC were present to give the lads the support they deserved... 'WWWWHHHEEEELLLLL'.
I thought Twisted Wheel sounded superb and the crowd obviously agreed as they went off to a rapturous applause.
Paul Weller was next up. I was very impressed, specially with 'Eton Rifles', 'Shout to the Top', and 'Town Called Malice'... but the encoure was totally out of this world, and luckily I was prepared for it...
'Thats Entertainment' with Jonny Brown as guest, it bought tears to my eyes, their rendition was superb, I was so impressed, it just proves that Jonny can turn his hand to anything, he won over ALL the Weller fans, EVERYONE was singing along, it was truely a magic moment (and please, please repeat it on the Weller Forest tour).
