Having just finished University, we're now focussing on our music for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, Vedantha and I took a trip last weekend to Suffolk to the lovely Latitude festival for an injection of artistic inspiration.
We were treated to a diverse range of music, comedy and theatre, including the heartfelt Bon Iver, the magnanimous Elbow, the world-class Lang Lang, the unbelievably talented Zun Zun Egui, and the sweetness of First Aid Kit (who we later met in the arena on their way to the kids’ dance area, wearing their beautiful long dresses), as well as a charming performance of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Les Enfants Terribles. Particular highlights included a shimmering set in the woods by The Staves, and the honour of seeing Buena Vista Social Club in the flesh – as a band that have actually shaped the history of a country, to actually experience the passion and joy that they pour into their music was intensely poignant. Also, I cried in Scattered Black and Whites by Elbow, I’ll happily admit it,
