the first tent we stumbled into was host to nu york state, a pretty fun souly, jamiroquai/maroon 5-esque (but better and less irritating) group with trumpet, sax, keyboard, african drums and the usual.
next up was rebel yell a cool as rockabilly group from leeds who put on a craking show despite being one member down
Next we saw Sky Larkin who were refreshingly lovely!

From here the line-up gets a bit blurry but somewhere along the way i finally got to see The Sugars who i've been trying to catch for a while now and i found their quirky stage presence and feet stompable sound highly entertaining

i do of course remember the last act of our evening the one and only Kid Id who played an awesome set that got the tent a rockin'
The next day saw The Tarka Groove Experiment getting everyone dancing their muddy little tootsies off.....
They were followed by the indie stylings of Bradfords White Light Parade.....
Then the highly vibrant electro sounds of The Hair who got the little tent rammed with heaving bodies
And finally the finale and musical highlight of the weekend was the one and only jon gomm and his amazing virtuoso guitar battering talents, i'm serious anyone who hasn't seen this guy and who gets the chance to has GOT to go watch he is literally the most mesmerising solo stage performer i've ever seen!
Other highlights of the weekend include the silent disco on the last night which was ridiculous amounts of fun (no camera to record the fun unfortunately!) Jumping around in the mud
singing copious amounts of bob dylan and making up songs about an elusive girl named elly
and these rather weird dancing foam creatures that mesmerised us for a few minutes!
Anyway this was the best festival of the summer so far i have high hopes for connect festival and i guess leeds will be a laugh cos it always is! This was a ridiculously long blog type thing but i took a lot of photos this weekend!!!
