Alchemy Festival little eris report

We arrive at Alchemy and attempt to erect Johnny Nigma's vintage tent that has been abandoned for 2 years. It has no instructions and the tent poles are not connected like in modern tents so a lot of guesswork is involved. We spend 2 hours on it and then some men come and help with the extra pair of hands we eventually get the tent up. Time taken approx 3.5 hours. It's worth it though as once inside it is shaped like a teepee :)   With the tent up we commence the hedonism... smoking and sunbathing and drinking and making DIY cheesecakes made of digestive biscuits, melted chocolate, kiwi and banana - before exploring the sights and sounds of the festival as the Alchemy begins!

We perform on the Kaplick Stage for one and a half hours !

Here is Saskiia Shitbag!

myself aka Eris Kaoss !

The Netty Lillith !

After the show we unwind and run around the festival like twisted faeries.



Our new friend Niall is playing little eris music in his caravan late at night.
Closer inspection reveals he has filmed some live video and audio recordings and taken loads of pictures which have used in this blog! I hang out with Niall telling him of my adventures around the site and sip some potions before continuing with the running round like a twisted faerie, checking the tent is not on fire, seeing beautiful patterns, watching fire, hustling firewood etc

Walking back to the tent with Serafina we look up and the moon is dipped low in the dawn sky
- a green neon glow on one side of the crescent moon a pink neon glow on the other.

Strange electronic sounds melt into the dawn chorus of birds.

Before we leave Niall invites us for porridge with fruits and nuts and video screenings at his caravan we call it porridge and video party - it is perfect combo for recovering from a spangly weekend and to set us up for the drive back to Wales.

End of The World

By the end of the festival we all agreed that the weekend had been uber chilled with an old skool vibe. The festival was set deep in the countryside surrounded by beautiful trees and flowery fields with a river nearby . We watched performances by Zubzub, Deferred Success, Poetikat and Ruth Charlotte and also enjoyed the UV hula hooping girl. To me, most of all what stands out at the festival was the infinite untouched perfectly round fluffy white dandelion clocks as far as the eye can see
