Woodford Duck Beaten to Death With Round Mountain Shovel

If their first gig at the Duck and Shovel at this years Woodford Folk Festival wasn't big enough, their final performance demonstrated to the nation that this band is about to become a national institution. A packed venue greeted Round Mountain Girls as they walked on stage and after forty minutes of folkgrassrockfunkmayhem they received their second encore of the festival...the only logical conclusion, after a such a joyous and uplifting occasion. Hospital worker, Gupta Ravishankar told us that he had waited a long time to see his heroes on a Woodford stage and that now his dream had come true. "I knew they'd blow the lid off the place" he gushed. "Just looking across the sea of smiling, happy, energised faces in the audience was enough to tell me that others will now sign up in their thousands to become Round Mountaineers. I feel privileged to have been one of their earliest disciples." The photographs tell the story. See if you can see yourself in the crowd. If you weren't there, check out the grinning, beaming faces and ask yourself how you managed to miss out on one of the feelgood, musical highlights of the festival.
