We’re just back from Port Eliot Festival 2012 and boy, what an incredible weekend. Too much to tell and too little time, so in the meantime here are a few initial photographs and a couple of short films to give you a quick flavour of what went down. This week and next we’ll be busy uploading all the official photographers’ pictures into the galleries on the main festival website, so head over there to see the full story.
First off, a short clip of Simon Munnery’s hilarious set on the Bowling Green on Sunday afternoon. He had us in stitches over an aubergine:
Then, an even shorter clip of Diagrams, our new favourite band, who closed the Caught By The River stage on Sunday evening (and our festival this year) with great music and a jolly balloon bonanza:
And then a quick edit of some stills:

Elephants… they’re everywhere at Port Eliot
Sunday evening on the estuary… what a way to wrap it up
