me and my wife a weird way home. My phone pings: a selfie just taken by our drummer with Bryan Adams
he band I’m in is to play the main stage at the last ever Cornbury festival, and my wife is being difficult about it, but refusing to accept she is being difficult. In my frustration I have begun to address my side of the conversation to the youngest one, who is ignoring me and staring at his laptop.“I do want to come, just not the whole time,” my wife says.“I don’t want to be there while you’re setting up, then hang around for hours after,” she says. “I can come with Virginia later, in her car.
Two days later my wife furnishes me with her sister’s car registration. I tell Mrs Norris, Mrs Norris tells the festival people, and an extra parking pass is secured. The next morning my wife and I set off for Oxfordshire, while I repeat the arrival instructions. The band assemble and we unload our stuff behind the main stage. This isn’t the first time we’ve played the last-ever Cornbury. We played the first last-ever Cornbury in 2017, a finale so successful they decided to do it again the next year. We played that one too. This last last-ever Cornbury was postponed twice due to Covid, but now its time has come., and again the backstage area is dominated by large equipment cases with his name spray-painted on them. It all seems very familiar.
