Snaking along the A145 after a 4 hour journey with not a single motorway in sight I was pleased entry to Latitude Festival was a complete breeze.
Making my way to the arena you are immediately confronted with just how rural this festival is with little stages in the woods & as you walk through the woods a shed with a piano installed for general use provides random entertainment.
Heading to the largest tented arena, The Word Arena Angus & Julia Stone walk upon the stage. Now their something going on here the way Julia looks longingly at Angus & there gentle acoustic tunes fit in perfectly with the sunny Friday afternoon vibe & a few ciders.
Back to The Word Tent & the first big hitter of the day hits the stage The Feeling, now you either love or hate The Feeling. Myself I find myself impartial, their tunes sometimes remind me of Halifax building society adverts in the nineties However Gillespie Sells is well up for this festival telling us he came as a punter last year & had to play it. Fill My Little World gets the crowd going crazy & I even witness some crowd surfing!!!!! They were that good we will even let them off the hook for playing a newbie!
Catching a little Laura Marling seems a good time to go for some tea & a pizza & some warm salad is the order of the day
Still it impresses the huge crowd gathered to see her Myself after three songs can hardly contain my excitement so heads of to the waterfront stage to chill out in the provided deck chairs watching the pretty trees change colour like the sheep in the lights
