Special guests!

On the Sunday, Tim Peaks became a sort of stopping point for several famous faces. We met Nico, who plays Finn in My Mad Fat Diary, Gillian from New Order and even Steve from The Fall. Wow!

We were lucky enough to talk to Gillian and asked her about her favourite festival experiences. I was quite surprised to hear that she didn't go to too many festivals. However, she does really like Portmeirion and can't wait for Festival No. 6 this year. I wonder if that has anything to do with Tim Peaks being there? :) She remembers going to Glastonbury in the past and comparatively, thinks that Kendal Calling is like a little community with a brilliant feel.

We asked what her favourite New Order song was and she responded saying she always gets asked this but never knows what to say! She likes 'Sunrise' for sentimental reasons, especially considering it's one of their first songs.

Steve has a new book coming out called The Big Midweek. We asked him to tell us a little bit about it, and found out it was about getting in to music, growing up, punk music and being in The Fall for 20 years. Exciting! His favourite Fall song is 'Billy's dead' and he'd arrived at Kendal Calling early on the Friday morning. So far, he'd had a brilliant time at the festival, with his highlights being Suede on the main stage and The Lottery Winners.

It was great to meet these guys and they were all lovely!

Loryn and Nico
