The Who singer is surprise festival guest during Weller set
Rock icon
Roger Daltrey made a surprise guest appearance at the Hop Farm
Festival in Paddock Wood on Sunday.
Just as Paul Weller's set was
drawing to a conclusion, Daltrey sauntered on stage and the duo
launched into a performance of Magic Bus, one of the The Who's best
known hits from 1968.
The track included a harmonica
performance from Daltrey - who lives near Tunbridge Wells - with
Weller singing backing vocals.
Weller was the headline act of the
festival, playing a one-and-a-half hour set, finishing with A Town
Called Malice from his days with The Jam.
Other performances on Sunday
included Editors, Doves and Super Furry Animals, with The Fratellis
headlining the Saturday bill, which also included Echo and the
Bunnymen and Ash.
Several thousand people attended
the festival at the Hop Farm, which is now in its second year.
Organised by Vince Power, who
helps organise the Glastonbury and Reading festivals, the Hop
Farm event was deliberately non-branded and had no VIP areas.
