Sunday kicked off with a choir, Chechelele, who sang beautifully. Songs from around the world enthusiastically performed and with a chance for us all to sing our hangovers away!

Chechelele

This enchanting choir was followed by the talented poet and musician Mark Gwynne Jones, a tour de force wordsmith who was joined on stage by band Pyschicbread – a wonderful, magical, dreamy (and at times dark) set ensued with the multi-talented musicians swapping instruments throughout. Stunning lyrics, a host of percussion, kora, electric and acoustic guitars, keyboards, and gorgeous vocals made for a welcome diversion from the pouring rain outside.

Mordekkers
All the way from Pembrokeshire, Mordekkers rounded off a truly memorable 20th Off the Tracks with their enchanting tunes. A perfect vibe easing us gently into the prospect of packing away the rain-soaked camp and returning to our respective realities.

A huge, heartfelt thank you to all the Off the Tracks staff, organisers, crew, bar-staff, stewards and to all those who made this year such a special time for me. See you all again for the spring event! Love and peace. Phil.
