Frizz

How bloody brilliant! By the second day all I could think, was why hadn’t I been before.

Friday: Kate Nash (just because it was early and easy), KT Tunstall (so made up for the gig at the Roundhouse), The Feeling (somewhere in the background), some Circus (to see M), Sinead O’Connor (impressed M by getting right the way through the crowd and she made me cry), Jimmy Cliff (great way to end the day bopping away). A trip to Shangri-La.

Saturday: Martha Wainwright (third row Pyramid stage), Seasick Steve (second row Pyramid stage), Crowded House (first row Pyramid stage - all wonderful especially the first two), Music Through Unconventional Means (Shlomo the human beatbox and friends including Martha and Martina Topley-Bird), The Last of the Shadow Puppets (special guest), MGMT (first two songs only), Amy Winehouse (last few songs from the sidelines and the loo), Massive Attack (I didn’t know I liked them).

Sunday: Black Mountain (because we were passing), Balkan Beat Box (bought the CD), Neil Diamond (wow, I was a kid again and the nicest of nice atmospheres), Goldfrapp (a bit squashed at the front, but good), Leonard Cohen (like 10 rows from the front - I am in love - he’s my man - one of the best gigs I’ve ever seen), The Verve (back of the front bit nursing a headache - incredibly professional with a fab lightshow, a fitting end).

Phew… what a weekend. And wait for it… I even enjoyed the camping…
