Latitude - pass me the houmous

Last week a band of merry chums and I packed into a polo and ventured south seeking sounds and sunshine.

Ok, ok, so this isn't quite Glasgow related however our fine city was well represented in the fields of Latitude amongst the sea of Guardian readers and mountains of falafel. T in the Park it was not.

Belle and Sebastian were amazing. They played crowd favourites The Boy with the Arab Strap and cheerily titled Get Me Away from Here I'm Dying before inviting a crowd of people on stage for a dance and sing song. Frightened Rabbit also played a blinding set, a nice mixture of tunes off the old and new albums.

In the comedy tent comedian Kevin Bridges went down a storm and we also checked out relative newcomers to the Glasgow scene Mitchell Museum. I'd read reviews raving about them and they certainly held their own.

I also got to see my favourite band in the world The National....utterly splendid. Can't wait until November when they play the 02 Academy!

All in all a good weekend!
