Latitude

Following a wonderful weekend in the forest at the festival of Latitude in Suffolk, I want to share my discoveries with you...(before I accidentally delete the 'notes from Latitude' from my mobile phone!)

Spoken word artists:
Catherine Smith (amusing and a little risqué!)
William Letford (clever, varied and highly innovative)
Caroline Bird (inspiring, fast paced and diverse)

Literary guests:
Tracey Thorn (great to hear about the years before I discovered her way back in the late '80s)

Dance:
Roció Molina (expressive, dramatic, emotional and gripping)

Music performers:
Bloc Party (super laser show)
King Creosote (poetic)
Everything Everything (great dance numbers)
Yeah Yeah Yeahs (loved her outfit...and that is all...)
Kraftwerk (super synth and entertaining show with need for 3D glasses)
Alison Balsam (wonderful, dramatic and ceremonial brass)
Laura Mvula
Stealing Sheep (super lively, enthusiastic, enthralling)

Comedy performers:
Nina Conti and puppets (intelligent, innovative and hilarious)
