The police force at Rothbury was actually a pleasant addition to the festival and added to the unique atmosphere. They were on horseback, friendly and great at interacting with the crowd. It was interesting because they definitely kept things in line but were not threatening at all.

I’ve got more shots of Rothbury coming up this week including pics of the Phil Lesh and Friends concert. Also here’s link to another Rothbury blogger who posted some videos of Rothbury.

Another Sherwood Forest Night Shot at Rothbury Music Festival

Rothbury\'s Music Festival Sherwood Forest at Night
As you may have heard by now, Sherwood Forest was just amazing at night. Here’s another of the paths that ran through the forest which was equally impressive. I took this a little earlier when it was dusky and the lights just went on.

JJ Grey & MOFRO

JJ Grey and MOFRO at Rothbury Music Festival
JJ Grey and MOFRO were described to me as an up and coming band that I had to see. Let’s put it this way, one of the first things I did when I got back from the Rothbury Music Festival was look them up online and downloaded their music. Here’s a link to their website.

Rothbury’s Sherwood Forest at Night

Everyone kept telling me, “You HAVE to see Sherwood Forest at night and get a picture of it.” They were right, think of huge old pine trees decorated and lit up with black lights… yes, it was incredible this is the photo I took although you really had to be there to truly appreciate it.

John Mayer is even better in concert than he is in the recording studio. He gave a great performance at Rothbury… and yes, Jennifer Aniston was there to cheer him on.

Rothbury, The Little Details

Rothbury Sculpture

One of the things that made a big difference about Rothbury was the attention they paid to the location of the event. The Double JJ Ranch is a great wooded location to start with and then they went the extra mile by adding lots of improvised sculptures like this one to add to the atmosphere.

Rothbury’s Sherwood Forest


When I got here, I thought to myself “how on earth am I going to do this justice?” This is truly the most interesting, fun event I’ve ever been to. The organizers were very creative and did a great job making this place special. Okay, now I’m going to bed, for real!
