- TriviaRhythm 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'.
- GoofsBoth 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.

Featured review
Well....It Ain't Woodstock....But
Barnaby has been shown throughout the series to be a big fan of the blues. Here, there is a rock festival, and our erstwhile constable is there to enjoy the music. He is in awe of a performer known as the Axeman, a great blues guitarist in his day. It isn't long before members of the band begin to get bumped off, beginning with the electrocution of the lead singer, a doped up, middle aged screecher who is actually pretty good. Soon the story begins to revolve around a guy named Ginger who disappeared many years ago, whose story became the stuff of rock legend. We are treated to the decadent lifestyles of these over the hill rockers. They have maintained their disdain for the world and are submerged in self importance and entitlements. Of course, they have secrets. They have a kind of sick relationship with one another. The solution is an interesting one.
