Day Two at Corinbank was fantastic.
I got there just after lunch, in time to see Mal Webb on the main stage. That man is an amazingly talented musician. Playing so many instruments, it's crazy.
Today I spent a lot of time at the smaller, "Gibraltar Grove Stage", set deeper into the trees up a hill. I managed to check out a few really talented bands, such as "The Ellis Collective", "The Cashews" (Playing their last gig for what is going to be a long time), "The Beez" from Germany, and "The Fuelers".
I was so impressed by the "The Ellis Collective", "The Cashews" and "The Beez" that I ended up buying CD's from all of them.
"The Beez" were a crazy band from Germany. Playing wacky cover versions of popular music. Their banter in-between songs was also hillarious.
On the main stage I managed to catch "Friendly Yen", joined by members of "Casual Projects", "Blue King Brown", "Resin Dogs Sound System" and "Casual Projects."

Part of the day was spent relaxing in the "Chai By The River" tent with Paddy, Lisa and Thommo. We sat and chatted while listening to music, drinking Chai and eating cookies. It is a fantastic spot by the river full of beanbags, pillows and sofas. All contained under a rather large silk parachute. It was a "Shoes Off" venue, as is a few of the other inside venues around Corinbank.
I drove home just at the end of the "Casual Projects" set. Their last before they move down to Melbourne. They will be missed here in the National Capital. Best of luck to the boys!!
It was another great day down in the forrest, the weather was great, the people were friendly and the music was fantastic. Bring on Day Three!
