Homelands 2002

 

 

Homelands is a big dance festival
in Somerset, UK
the first of the English summer
and what a fantastic summers day it was

The last time I was there (2000) it was mudlands

 

 

This time I was with dear friends Nelio & Ela and two other pals
we were all most certainly up for it!

 

When the sun shines in the UK, the people tend to shine as well
All the big clubs had tents - that's the Slinky tent on the rhs

 

 

 

We didn't get much further than The End techno tent
Jeff Mills is a legend and is a phenomenal Dj
Richie Hawtin followed

 

 

but it was Laurent Garnier's 6-hour set took us through the night

Fantastic!

 

 

shiny happy people in the morning light streaming into the tent

that's what a night of dancing does

 

 

 

 

 

 

The following Monday we celebrated the Golden Jubilee in traditional style
with a headonist boat party on The Thames

 

 

Many thanks to Nelio & Ela for hospitality and fine company
