Electric Picnic 2007

Describe In Three Words: Chill your boots

Remarkable Moment: Singer Niko is inspired. The patchy turnout in the drizzle at the beginning of the set doesnt bother the wee minx a jot. The guitarist might look like a long lost Gallagher bro with a moody brow and checked shirt combo but from start to finish, Niko is grinning and prowling, enticing the sleepyheads to come and board the groovy Flight 602.

Crowd Reaction: Some sorry heads are soothed. This is the perfect way to start the last day of a three day bender, non threatening, like some kind of jazzy papoose. Andy Martin's ever changing ten piece soul ensemble 'The Girl Who Fell Through The Ice' almost gets to edgy territory but thankfully, they beginto round things off with some more horizontal beats in the shape of 'Smile'S, a choice cut from the recent Aim LP. It won't change your life, but it will certainly do for soundtracking a cure.
