The best gig was the Hyde Park gig that was moved to the Dome, featuring The Wytches, Dream Wife, Shame, Magic Gang and Spring King. There was a great atmosphere with some brilliant bands.
Best new band
Bat For Lashes – why I haven’t bothered to see her before, I really don’t know. What a beautiful voice

Best photo
The Wytches gig had the most stage diving I’ve seen in one gig. I moved to the back towards the end and I just love this photo.
