East Steel at Mirfield Arts Festival

It's Sunday 16 July and it's Mirfield Festival. Marina and Glenn are here with their costumes and their troupe. Jose is here playing in the brass band, and East Steel are here.

Today we are Me and Bex, Wanda, Emma, Trish, Vicky, Sophie, with Bart on kit, and Pippa has winged it across the M62 from Manchester.

East Steel divides itself between those who have to be in the shade and those who have to be in the sun. We are positioning ourselves against a hedge of flying ants, watching what we think are the sun's plans to hide behind St Paul's Church, and at what o'clock this might happen.

Our contact here is Jenny T, and this is Mirfield's second festival and it is glorious.

Very pleased to be asked back. Thanks to Glen again for pictures from all angles, especially that demonstrate that sun and shade!
