Born & Bred Festival Review
Born & Bred festival is exactly what London needed. As the festival market becomes ever more saturated, an event with such clear musical direction – that’s also rooted in its home city – is a breath of fresh air.

A weekend in East London: Field Day 2015 lived up to expectations
A weekend in East London: Field Day 2015 lived up to expectations

Having just dedicated an emotive ‘Elegie’ to “anyone you’ve lost”, Patti Smith jokes to the crowd that she’s panting due to age before moving on to a cover of The Who’s ‘My Generation’.

Tumblr media
If somebody were to ask me where glitter comes from (glitter in general, not the glitter I am still rocking in work on a Thursday), I would probably tell them Bristol. Or more specifically Bristol on the May bank holiday weekend. This is the weekend that not only kicks off festival season, but the weekend that the west country opens the gateway to the fabulous summer of festivals ahead. Photo…

Field Day 2015 Preview
Summer is finally arriving. You’ve eaten burnt sausages off a barbeqwik in the park at least once and someone you know has already been sunburned.

Any of you who have actually beento a festival will know that this bland…
