I was on the crew at Summerfolk when Shirley Eikhardt played. I went to give her a 5 minute call at the warm up trailer and as she stood up I saw that she had sat on a large sea gull dropping. As I brought her to the stage one of the women on the crew had seen what happened and handed Shirley the jeans she had just taken off. Shirley went on and played. She thanked the crew for their help including the wardrobe change. It’s the stuff that made festivals great before everyone toured with their own production equipment.
