Dave, Tessa and I went off to Latitude this past weekend. Now, I am not a camping kind of girl, so the blow – up mattresses we borrowed were much appreciated and I didn’t even care when someone walking behind me as I carted our mountain load of pillows in commented loudly that it’s not real camping if you bring your pillows…… Once the tent was set up (thank heavens for the techie, who managed to sort out all the rods and ropes and bits) we went off to hear some amazing music.
Check out Tom Baxter, Loney,dear, Angus and Julia Stone, Ra Ra Riot and Camera Obscura. Sadly we missed The Magic Numbers – which is one of the reasons we went! Why they were on at something like 6pm I can’t understand. The atmosphere was amazing, it was nice to hear bands I had never heard of and children were welcome. The festival ended with a real dilemma for me as Arcade Fire was playing at the same time as The Gotan Project and as I am so bad at making decisions I watched the first 5 songs of Arcade fire and the last half of the Gotan Project set. And I am so glad that I did as I would have been really sorry to have missed either one. Were you at Latitude? Tell me what you thought…..?
