Face Of Cheam

A free festival in Croydons Lloyd Park. We got there halfway through The Damned's short set. We got to hear Eloise and Smash It Up which were good. Captain Sensible was dressed in a Crystal Palace shirt and asked the audience not to smash up the park as it's quite nice. Obviously outgrowing his punk status. Martha Reeves was next and just her and two backing singers sang karoke to her old hits including Heatwave and obviously, Dancing In The Street. Bit of a let down she did not have a band. Lightning Seeds headlined and were excellent. All the greatest hits, a couple of new songs and a cover of Be My Baby. Marvellous shone and they ended with Pure, an all time classic.
