Just arrived home from Secret Garden Party and I had the best time. Playing in the Living Room was top – awesome audience – look at their gorgeous faces above – thanks guys. And thanks to Kevin and Phil for putting me on. The band before me got stuck in traffic, but the upside is we got to play a longer set, and even threw in a tune that I wrote on arrival on Thursday! Phil put in a great display on double bass, and we played an impromptu set in Lost Hotrizons too.

I watched some amazing music over the weekend – my highlights were Little Dragon and Size 9, both in Chai Wallah’s. Missed several peeps I wanted to catch – Woon (several times!), Nicky M, Portico Quartet and Megan Henwood sadly, but played drunken clapped out piano with Edd Keene which was loads of fun. Phoenix were top dollar too, and I joined in with the stage invasion at the end. The view from a festival main stage is incredible.

Many other amazing moments happened over the weekend – it’s the best festival I’ve been to. I’m going to my first Big Chill in a couple of weeks and looking forward to that so we’ll see how they weigh up.
