Live @ Larmer Tree on the BBC.
Who would have thought that Sally Taylor (Radio Solent) and Johnny Walker from BBC Radio 2 would join my band...especially at eight o clock in the morning! I turned up at the Social Tent where I found Sally with bongos in hand, and Johnny walker warming up on the tambourine. I was then asked to open up The Larmer Tree Show by announcing they were both in my band.. It was such a fun time!
Here's a photo of Johnny, myself and Sally. I'll be posting the full podcast really soon.
I really enjoyed Larmer Tree. Apart from battling the rain and mud there was some fantastic music. Highlights for me was Rokia Traoré and The Dodge Brothers.
Something else I loved about this festival was all the divine food stalls and finding funky recycled clothes in the Oxfam charity shop.
I also played a slot at The Arc Stage with Elephant Talk. It was quite packed in the tent but it would have been nice to see more dancing! Over all it was a great time with good friends and doing an open mic spot with my little beat boxing mate, Zaq was a load of laughs! Might see you there again next year...
