Chapter 2.5 - July 2021: Summer Holiday Day 6 - Summer Festival Day with The Bushweeds

 Today was Summer Festival Day in Bewickton, so it was time to head to the park again to enjoy the festivities! Leya had invited all of her family to join the festival, and this time Palash actually showed up too.

Row farthest away from camera, left to right: Udisha and Palash.

Gaute went straight for the skating rink. In the background local band The Bushweeds were lucky to get their first perfomance gig at the festival! Not much audience for them though this early in the day, but atleast they are getting paid for the job..

Greenland Whalefishers - Nothing to say (Instrumental Irish punk rock track)

Youtube video: Greenland Whalefishers - Nothing to say. This is how imagine the band sounds when they play. The keyboard player Merete must be really skilled, playing both the flute and the fiddle parts simultaneously. ;)

It is clear that this is the band is not very experienced with performing, as they were all pretty nervous before getting on stage, and Gerda (the guitarist) is still struggling with some stage fright. This makes her act a little contrary to her usually extroverted party animal self by turning her back towards where the audience should have been. Hopefully she will warm up eventually.

Oh yeah, that's more like it! Now for next years festival, maybe they should hire some security staff to prevent the audience from going up on stage with band. Leya is standing in the back there behind the piano player. Nitya, Leyas younger sister in front all the way to the left... and this guy in the green top tank is blocking my view of the drummer (Kajsa)...

But all in all the band is delivering a pretty solid performance for their first time truely playing in public! I can only see that they will get more popular after this. :)

Gaute is watching Leyas parents (Deepak and Laranya) as they flirt with each other. I can't decide if this is cute or weird. :P

Bodil finally picked up the courage to go for the skating rink alone without Gaute being there to assist her. Leya and Nitya is still up on stage watching the band play..

Palash is just standing there, watching one of the balloon decorations. He's not watching the concert or hanging out with any of the others. Just walking around seemingly in his own world. He has always been a little weird...

It's hard to keep track of many sims at the same time, so I don't know where Udisha went, or if Bhavan (Leyas fire fighter brother) has even been there at all. Atleast they were all invited. If Bhavan isn't there, he's probably at the fire station...

I'm just gonna show one more shot of the band, because I like them so much. Leya is still standing there in the back watching, behind that Pincher-Peddler-Penny-Pincher whatever her name was... :P

The band just finished playing, and Gerda (the guitarist and front figure) appears super happy about this gig, and possibly already has an idea for the band's next song. Nitya, Leyas sister, apparently wants to be on camera too, so I let her...

Merete Sagmo, the keyboard player, is thinking about the money they just made. Leya is still standing up on stage, behind the fence.

Bodil on the skating rink has found a new mentor in local resident Ragni Sara.

„I want to try the keyboard, it looks so much fun!“ says Nitya. Oof, where is security when you need them... that keyboard is not yours to play! ;)

Sam Mæle (bass player): Hmm, not bad.. maybe she can join the band as a back-up piano player!

No, actually, to put it bluntly.. she is pretty terrible... she should probably stick to painting, and you shouldn't be digging that.. :P

Leya: Oh no, my sister is making a fool of herself!

Kajsa (the drummer) is standing right behind Leya, and quite frankly, she is a little intimidating.. maybe Nitya should drop the keyboard playing just to make sure..

Looks like Bodil has made a new friend in this Eivor Mortensen. I'm guessing she has the childish personality trait...

And surprisingly, Gaute has already gone back to the hotel from the festival, when I was expecting him to want to stay there the longest.

Leya has found her sister Udisha for me, so she is still there...

..but then she should probably also find a toilet. So she decides to go back to the hotel as well. Probably not a bad idea, it has been a long day...

Haha, right on! But it's probably time for you to go back to the hotel as well soon, Bodil. Please follow your mom.. :P

The festival grounds have closed, party is over for today. Good night. ;)
