Latitude 2017 We take a look back at this year's festival and pick out a few highlights


ThiS year, as in previous years, mrs B and i were count- ing down the days to latitude as, once again, the line-up looked superb! as the weekend crept ever closer we began to plan our schedules, trying to make sure we saw all the acts we really wanted to. Of course, anyone that has


been to latitude (and that is a good few as this year it is esti- mated that around 35,000 peo- ple were there on Saturday alone!) will know that it is almost impossible to see every- thing that catches your eye when you first glance over the line-up. There is so much going on that it is impossible to get to all acts. So, we approached this with a


firm plan. There were acts we simply haD to see: The 1975, Ward Thomas, mumford & Sons, Katherine ryan, ivo gra- ham, Fatboy Slim, reg Dhunt- er, Jack garratt – being the big draws for us.having download- ed the app – new this year – we made sure we had this in our favourites. From here we sim- ply took the approach that any spare time was an opportunity to have a wander around the gor- geous henham Estate, nipping in and out of tents and stages sampling whatever perfor- mance delights that were on offer.


This is the beauty of latitude.


The line-up may be punctuated by huge global acts that we all recognise, but there are hun- dreds of talented professionals that have earned the right to per- form at such venues. They will all come with their own dedi- cated army of fans that fight their way to the front of the stage to see their favourite act up close and personal. Well, for those of us who have not yet come across such acts, this is an opportunity to get in to their world of folk, r ‘n’ B, country, poetry, dance….. it really is a treat. as always, the organisation


was superb. latitude is renowned as being a family friendly festival and despite huge numbers, the crowds of revellers went about the impor- tant business of enjoying the weekend in good spirit. it wouldn’t be a latitude


review without mentioning the incredible food! Sadly, we were not able to get around each of the food stands (we’d need a couple of months to do so!) but, as with the acts, there is some- thing for all tastes with vendors selling foods from around the world, from indian street food to fish ‘n’ chips. For those who have a sweet tooth, the churros are not to be missed! What of the good old fash-

ioned British weather? Well, we are fortunate to live in the driest part of the country so had lots of warm sunshine. But, as if we sensed it, when the only sprin- kling of rain came on Sunday afternoon, we had made our way to the shelter of the comedy tent, not that the shower damp- ened anyone’s spirits. By this point the crowds were gearing up for Sunday headliners Fleet Foxes and Fatboy Slim – it’d take more than a little rain to stop us Suffolk folks enjoying ourselves! This year was the 12th incarnation oflatitude and based on this, the 13th edition will be one not to miss! David Burns
