Harry, as ever, does his own thing
Beatyard Festival, Dún Laoghaire, County Dublin, Ireland - 5th August 2018
Isobel has scored some tickets for the Beatyard Festival, held at the curious and brutal all-brick-pavier location that is the now-disused Dun Laoghaire ferry terminal. It's often hard going thanks to the lack of seating or even simple grass to flake out on, but the festival makes up for it by providing some great music in the form of Django Django, The Skatalites, the legends that are The Sugar Hill Gang and a raft of other lesser-known but on-trend acts. The boys come along for a few hours, but there's not that much for them to do so for the remainder of the festival it's auntie-based child care, which is a bonus.
