Barefoot in the mud at the foot of a mountain in Inverary, there was an old look out on the mountain top that you could just about see, saluting through the top of the mist that had descended.  The sky was otherwise clear: pink, purple, orange and blue... Sigur Rós were on stage... it was heavenly!

I highly recommend you go to Hydro Connect next year if you get the chance...

The vibe translated backstage too, which isn't always the case.  I got talking to Elbow, Sigur Rós and Franz Ferdinand...all of whom were completely down to earth and loving the vibe up there... you gotta love it when that happens...



oh... I forgot to mention the overwhelming smell of piss in certain areas... not as poetic really!
