July 2009 Archives

Like a cross between Lionel Richie and a dancing Spaniard, the Hertfordshire boys took to the stage of King Tut's Wah Wah Tent.

Bouncy and full of frivolous energy the quartet danced and sang their way through an entertaining 45 minute set.

Mixing new age techno and rock music the Friendly Fires really pulled out all the stops to get the entire crowd dancing.

Even the middle aged couple in front of me started doing the robot.

Hilarious as that was, the performance was great and having only heard their singles I have to say I'm definitely going to be looking into purchasing their 2007 album, Friendly Fires.

Highlights of the set included On Board, Paris, Skeleton Boy and the stunning new song, Kiss Of Life.

Lady Gaga's performance on day 2 was electric, and I'm not just talking about her music.

The flamboyant performer had a total of three costume changes, and a number of different items in her stage set up, including a glittery piano, a Vespa and a funky piano keyboard.

The English crooner (can a man under the age of 50 be classed as a crooner?) kicked things off on the main stage on Friday night and the crowd were well into his performance.

Morrison started off with a bang and kept the crowd excited, mixing in lesser known album tracks with hits such as "You Give Me Something", "Broken Strings" and throwing in a cover of "Everything Is Alright (Uptight)".

The singer closed out his set with crowd favourite "Wonderful World", and with the sun shining the song seemed apt on the first night of the festival.

That's me in the media tent...Managed to get the laptop wifi ready to keep you guys updated on all the goings on at this year's festival.

Waiting with anticipation for James Morrison at 6pm, in fact looking forward to all of today's main stage line up.
