Starting ‘em young

What a great way to start one’s musical education, watching Dick Taylor and the Hillmans as part of Ventnor’s V-Bay Festival’s music day!   Wighteye took in a range of acts and had a great afternoon, thank you organisers!  Below are a few snaps taken of acts seen, including the irreverent Larry O’Toole who referred to the event as ‘B-day’;   incidentally, this was the second chance that Wighteye has had to listen to Larry O’Toole and the Hooleys and I must say that familiarity helps a great deal, the lyrics were largely decipherable this time!  Wighteye’s favourite, Dick Taylor, really came alive as his set wore on, a real pleasure to hear.  From rhythmic world music, through folk, blues and smooth jazz, the day had something for most people.  It would be nice to see a few more younger acts next year, to draw  in a younger crowd, though not at the expense of the oldies, of which Wighteye is one!
