Das Wanderlust and Lavender Diamond

Dsc00077

For anyone pining for an English Dresden Dolls, here's your answer. Fleshed out by guitars, bass and - yes! Recorder duets! - it's chaotic and messy, like a toddler painting walls with Ritalin. There's much stamping and silly voices and occasional fa-la-las, some in reet Yorkshire mam drawl and all topped off with overexcited banter and  love for their friend Nicky, taking photos at the front and and saying hello to everyone. "I like this song, I get to be lazy in it," says Guitarist, shortly before launching into 'Sherlock Holmes', the song that proves the existence of opium fairies, all with multi-personality disorders. This probably doesn't make a lot of sense does it? Good, neither do they but the delighted folk clapping along don't mind and neither do we. Although our grasp is rapidly slipping, so we head along to the Uncut stage to watch Lavender Diamond, a electro folk performance art collective. Naturally they're French.
