The under-repair town clock is spinning madly
The First Latitude Festival, Henham Park, Suffolk - 14th July 2006
Nosher, Isobel, The Boy Phil, and Andrew from Ipswich head off to sample a day at the very first Latitude Festival, held at Henham Park near Southwold in Suffolk. There's a good variety of cultural highlights, such as Poetry and Literary tents, as well as a decent selection of non-mainstream music, and even the food is above-average. The only downer is the lack of decent beer, as there's only canned lager or cider on offer. Although originally deciding upon Friday because of the headline act - Snow Patrol - it turns out that there are several other must-see bands, especially the re-formed The Veils, as well as The Zutons and Ed Harcourt.
