Brighton Pavilion Gardens 2008

We returned to Brighton in July to play, this time, on the lawns of the Pavilion Gardens. The weather being kinder to us this year, the band was able to play in the shade of the trees by the Pavilion Cafe, and the people of Brighton and their visitors enjoyed a sunny afternoon. It all felt rather traditional: a band playing in the park, while the audience picnicked and relaxed on the lawns. We were sponsored by Brighton and Hove City Council for this event.
