Hello from Bulgaria!

I made you a drawing from my place mat

Dinner time in Bulgaria

We have landed safely in Bulgaria and we are starving! Time for dinner at the Happy Bar And Grill :)

We're off to Bulgaria!

Week 12 of the Trident Perpetual Festival has me and two comp winners heading off to Bulgaria for the Spirit Of Burgas festival! We are just leaving Luton now and are ready to go! This week's winners are Claire and her friend Venice (pictured). They're really lovely and I'm sure we are going to have a totally brilliant time - hooray!

Trident Perpetual Question at Standon Calling

The Trident Perpetual Question - the best/silliest/most fun idea ever. Get a stranger to ask a question and get another to answer it and ask another, post that question to someone new and get them to set the next one.. At Standon Calling this process became 42 people long and included contributions from The Magic Numbers, Fool's Gold, Alice Russell, The Fabulous Penetrators and more! Check it out..

Klezma Villanova at Standon Calling

The first people I met at Standon Calling this year were the lovely Klezma Villanova. They were the first band on on Friday's line-up and played an exciting and inspiring fusion of gypsy punk and world music. Check out this chat with them (in a woodshed) below.

Festival wrist attire

May I advise all festival goers to wear a watch. Not only does it allow you to know what time your favourite bands are on - but it also allows you to strike up conversations with time-deprived strangers.. And saves your phone battery as you won't be checking that!

Massive thank you to One Stop Festival and Breo for this Roam watch they've given me for my festival adventures. Rubbery. Waterproof. Flexible. Perfect! Though I doubt I'll be able to keep it this clean for long ;)

Jeffrey Lewis at Standon Calling

Amazing musician, inspiring thinker - see what happened when Jeffrey Lewis and I sat down for a chat.. and he ended up interviewing me!

The Magic Numbers at Standon Calling

The Magic Numbers dish the dirt on who they would murder at Standon Calling... evil!

Efterklang answer your questions!

Before I headed to Standon Calling.. I asked people on the Trident Facebook page and my Twitter account to give me their random questions to put to a band at the event. I printed them off.. took them along.. and managed to persuade the rather adorable Efterklang to answer them!
