Anticipating Latitude
This time tomorrow we should be arriving in Southwold for the Latitude Festival - we’ll be there to perform with the Immaculate Extremists and Noise of Art in the tribute to old horror film vampires on the Sunday night. So I’ve packed our fangs and my vampire gowns, and dusted off Andrew’s tail coat and I think we are ready to bite some necks.
The line up looks pretty amazing - with bands from the Pretenders to the Petshop Boys (has every 80’s band reformed to tour this year??), Spiritulized to St Etienne, Thom Yorke to Nick Cave and tonnes of new talent. But Latitude is much more than a music festival. There is an incredible line up of cabaret, comedy, film and theatre. Add to that a literary arena and salon and a poetry arena, cram all that into the beautiful suroundings of Southwold’s Henley park - well I haven’t been but I’ve seen the pictures from last year and it’s damn picturesque despite the crowds…. It looks good enough that even if I didn’t have free tickets I’d think about buying one despite being a diehard cheapskate.
Surfice to say I’m excited and will be telling you all about it here the minute we get back on Monday. Fingers crossed for good weather - I’m not that keen on good old English mud!
