It's The Great Escape Festival here again in Brighton and we taking it much easier than in previous years.
Still, on Wednesday and Thursday we managed 10 bands. My proximity to the stage is inversely proportional to how well the band is hyped to attract the attention of the hordes of lanyard wearing music industry 'delegates' who can be spotted in vast numbers roaming the streets of Brighton.
So we have:
From Atlanta, Georgia, Sword II
The Healing Power of Horses (UK)
Sean Trelford (UK)
From Australia, Joan and the Giants
From Manitoba, Canada, SUNDAYCLUB
From Adelaide, Tullamrines
From Buenos Aires, Pacifica
Little Grandad (UK)
From Ireland, Madra Salach
From Gothenburg, Sylvie’s Head
