Due to the inaudibility of most of the vocal introduction and the background noise, i have removed around 3 minutes of this set starting at the beginning of the show. .
Report


Stealth mode 7 metres back stage left, I had a slightly better position, but i picked a seat that had bat shit on it, had to go and wash everything I'd touched and lost that position when i came back, wherever i went however, would have been affected by bat nose. the bats that roost in the pine trees around the stage were out in force , why oh why do the organiser of the festival stick quiet acoustic acts in areas where they get swamped by extraneous noises from nearby ?
in the old days these acts were on early or late and were pristine sound events, now, they get ruined by the organisers incompetence and the other stages cranking up their bloody bass subs !!!!!

The day before the first 10 minutes of this sublime musicians set was ruined by the noise from Queen Omega on stage three, and on Sunday the bats, the generators and the other acts on other stage all conspired to mess the sound up right royally as well .

The bats were the worst factor , they seemed to get stirred up during the faster parts of this set and at times their screeching synched quite nicely with the music, but it was LOUD , ive never heard them this agitated, they calmed down every now and again, but it was not acceptable to present this set with that degree off background noise so i decided to try and salvage it as much as i could.

There was no-one talking nearby at least , I have applied numerous filters, too many to describe here and I have removed vast amounts of the noises where i can, its taken four days in total ,six ;progressive edits but its now listenable, and about 98% of the crap is gone, I've probably also moved some top end percussion sound as well, but that was unavoidable as it was blending with the bats. I have included an original snippet of the recording to illustrate the degree of background noise .
