    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Rhythm Festival, held at Twinwood Arena, Clapham in Bedfordshire, provided the backdrop to the music event. Compére Mike Read made several announcements from the Rhythm Festival stage that made no sense and were in fact filmed for 'Midsomer Murders'.
    • Goofs
      Both the "Axeman" and DCI Barnaby refer to the electric charge being activated by the "Axeman's" Wah-Wah pedal. When they show the pedal it is a standard effects pedal, not a Wah-Wah which has a distinctively different shape. It is possible the pedal is an "Auto-Wah" but no old time blues player would ever use one, preferring the standard "Wah.

      DCI Tom Barnaby: How old do you think I am?

      DS Ben Jones: I don't know. I've done speed-dating, not carbon dating.

    Far out man
    A very painful first 1/3 of the story with the band overacting to the tilt. Then the interesting part of the story kicked in. Less of the band hamming it up and more investigation. I thought this was unsalvageable but the final 2/3 were great with a surprise ending. Music was bad. Fun to see Barnaby expressing his love of music. Lots of a rebellious Cully is a joy.
