Maifeld Derby 2016

Having being part of Maifeld Derby 2015, we felt we could now be crowned semi-veterans. First a quick recap. What is Maifeld Derby? This is a beautifully organised Music Festival, attended by various international and national upcoming artists. This is the core difference - the word "upcoming", so making this festival even more important for musicians to use this as one of career launching platforms!

Like last year, we snatched up a couple of early horse tickets (yes, horse, it's not a typo) making us eligible for the entire 3 day long music event. Mind you, there were also a few readings and a magic show plus the annual must have Hobby Horse Dressage. Want to know what we did last year, please time jump back one year.

So how did we get the kids to participate in a three day long program? First, as early as three months ahead, as the bands were gradually named and made known, daddy will began his indirect indoctrination of his favorite bands and music. This was by way of Deezer, with repeated playing of the music over breakfast on weekends, and sometimes in the evening. Not forgeting the auto playlist on the car stereo, if not available, then there will be the Bluetooth via the mobile phone to Deezer. Get the drift? This method of "music indoctrination" is perfection in itself. Finally as Maifeld Derby drew close, our music taste became one and the same!

We heard Kate Tempest read and rapped. We loved MØ, SGLewis, Sara Hartman, Destroyer, Fil Bo Riva, Boy, Neufundland, Isolation Berlin, we sang along "Käptn Peng und die Tentakel von Delphi" at 22:00, and we finally beat the storm after Dinosaurs Jr.!
