Ah, Sunday evening, the lawn has been mowed, the chicken is a'roasting, kids have cleaned their shoes ready for school in the morning, just the fire to light, slippers to find and sit down in front of Last of the Summer Wine and Antiques Roadshow ahead of an early night, ready for a new week of opportunities and challenges. I then remembered that I was seeing the wonderful EMILY BREEZE at Exeter Phoenix, I made my apologies and reversed the freshly washed and polished car out of the garage and hit the road.

Saturday March 8th was the date, The Depo in the heart of Plymouth was the venue that played host to the Sound Factory Festival, an all day sonic extravaganza that featured 11 bands and 2 DJ sets. The day started at 12:45pm and ended at 2:45am the next morning, leaving just 15 mins for the security team to usher everyone out into the wild before the clean up exercise began.
