I’m not one for writing reviews (as you may have noticed), but I did want to find some time to round up some photos, videos and thoughts about the 2007 West Coasts Blues and Roots Festival held this weekend in Fremantle. We had a great time; enjoying good music, friends, a great atmosphere and the sun, every now and then! What did you think? Leave a comment below!
You can find a few of my photos here on flickr and videos here on youtube. Please be aware that I just take photos for fun, and the videos I’ve kept short on purpose!
Other media and blogs talking about the festival.
Justin @ PerthMusic covers Saturday and Sunday.
Fyredarkle in the Perthians Group on Vox about Sunday.

I’ll add to this post if I find more to add!
I’ve created a EnjoyPerth group on youtube, because there doesn’t seem to be an active Perth group.
Heya! Cheers for linking me from your blog. Though, I’m curious with how you found me.
Glad to hear you had a great time… so did I!
I was shooting for Drum Media Perth, so you should be able to grab a copy today to see our coverage.
Easy, a search in flickr! 😀
Thanks for leaving a comment! 🙂 Nice photos, glad they’re being shared more widely!

Mate the weekend was amazing! I was about 10 metre’s to the left of where the John Mayer footage was taken and I got some pretty good shots of him looking directly into the camera. I’ll try get some footage on myspace soon! Here’s the link – http://www.myspace.com/41624589
Thanks to everyone for making a memorable weekend and sharing it on the web!
Thanks guys, I don’t think I made it that clear above, but we had a brilliant time (much like previous years!!). 😀
It was a bit annoying having to go home in between (half an hour drive), but, at least we did get a good nights sleep in our own bed, ha ha!
I keep adding to the list of links above, so keep checking back at this page!
