This is mainly going to be music festivals, but it could be any kind of festival I suppose.

Laurel Halo at Field Day

Posted by on in Events, Festivals, Music

I’ve only recently started to listening to her material, and it is very good, although there isn’t too much of it around. I believe there’s an album coming out this year. Anyway, she was really good, I liked the set and it seemed to get a good response from the audience too.

Field Day Programme

Posted by on in Festivals

I like the idea of these little programme things that you can wear around your neck and are just loose laminated cards with the running list for each stage, but they’re not nearly as easy to use as you think they might be, and in the end, I’d actually prefer a good old paper programme.

Listening to Grimes, Visions

Posted by on in Festivals, Music

I heard Grimes at Field Day yesterday, and hadn’t heard her / them before, so I thought I’d find something on Spotify and give it a listen. So far I really quite like the sound, but I think I’ll need to listen to more to develop a better view.

One Night Stan

Another show I saw at Edinburgh this year. Whilst I’m not a massive Laurel and Hardy fan I really enjoyed this production. It was a one man show about the last night that they performed.

WOMAD

Even though I only managed to get there for a day this year it was still brilliant. And whilst the programme will end up in the recycling bin in due course it still serves as a reminder of a great day out.

Of course next year is the 30th anniversary of WOMAD, so I hope / plan to be there for a the whole weekend. I bet it will be awesome.
