Yes, Ted, was also there, and if you thought the sons were wild....

It is true as Mr Brainbox says that none of us held back on the alcohol consumption so that the Blairgowrie festival campsite was generally a very torpid place in the morning with much nursing of sore heads. That did not stop Ted Furey stomping around the site at 6.30am bawling "Good Morning, Happy Campers" followed by a sardonic Glaswegian voice emerging from a tent near us - "Will somebody do us all a favour and shoot that mad f***ing Irishman!"

And it was not just vehicles that the River Ericht was in danger of being polluted from. The aforementioned excessive alcohol consumption caused otherwise sensible upright citizens to think that it would be a good thing to jump into the river fully clothed. I can present photographic evidence of this. It occurred after a heavy Saturday lunchtime drinking and music session in the company of an old traveller who was telling me how he used fish for salmon in the Erict - using dynamite.
