Rally Chat Mello Festival 2017 Meet Throckmorton 26-29 May - 3 Stages 29 Acts

[Wombles]

Goldie Looking Chain packed the tent out & had almost everyone singing & jumping!

 

[Wombles]

Another Welsh band The Alarm were really good too

 

[Wombles]

Great club atmosphere with Bez from the Happy Mondays & his son

 

[Wombles]

Not the best picture quality & the high winds had taken the Mello signs down but proper festival feel

 

[Wombles]

For a tribute act Frankly Aretha was excellent

The Cuginis even got us Wombles dancing

 

[Wombles]

These are just a small sample of the acts at Mello - we were constantly moving between the three stages to find which one we liked the most - so much good music Sadly can't get the video to load here but for us young band Sugar Mama stole the show (look young but so talented) & got the biggest audience response. Also enjoyed Altered Images with a lively performance by Claire Grogan.
Having the company of Funsters & RVOC members too made the whole experience even better so looking forward to Sunshine now & hoping we get the same weather.

This was general camping at the end

We all left the field as we found it

 

[Wombles]

There is a new location for Mello next year

Let's hope it all works out & we can sort a Meet for this one...

We were on a separate rally at Pinvin so enjoyed some of the music but not very much as we only really got the bass, which by turned midnight was getting a Bit Much. Plus the rockets didn't go high enough during the firework display at the end for us to enjoy properly - so it's to be hoped they can do better next year.

Took us a while before someone said they bet that's where it was coming from! LOL

Weather was a tad 'mixed' though - absolutely heaved down Monday afternoon - just in time for Pershore carnival parade - after a red hot Friday and Sunday.

@sedge Small world Think the music sounded much better in the field than what you heard - we had it bouncing back off the side of one of the RVs so it was like being in the arena all weekend. The live music did all stop at midnight & the disco at exactly 1am & then quiet enough in our area to get a goods nights sleep. We were cooked on Friday (Pershore was meant to be the hottest place in the UK that day ) then jumpers & coats on Saturday then shorts again on Sunday - it only started to rain on Monday as we left but didn't mind that after such a good weekend.

 

[sedge]

Weird thing is though - it was quite a lot warmer on Saturday night - from early evening all through the night - than the others.

The disco carried a LOT more than the bands - we did know there was music way over wherever - and wasn't at all unpleasant, but not anywhere near loud enough to enjoy, if you get me? but the disco sounded like it was in the field across the road! - and obviously someone making announcements (well speaking into a mike at any rate) but could neither hear the words nor the music which possibly may have accompanied the bang bang bang - I can't help but sincerely hope no-ones eardrums were directly in line with any of the speakers cos I reckon it used measure less decibels in the majority of drop forgers and weaving mills - both of which regularly caused major hearing damage.

 

[Wombles]

Mello 2018 will be even bigger & better with a 4th stage!
The organisers have agreed to offer Funsters a member discount price again - will post more details once known.
As the new location is a country estate with free roaming deer & pheasants no dogs or pets are allowed.
If you might be interested in this festival for next year then please add your names on this thread & I will message you once booking details are available.
