Our summer synopsis: the festival edition

Artists, Bands, DJs, Festivals, Music

Well, we have been well and truly off the radar as we have thrown ourselves into making the most of our summer music plans – for that, we are sorry. But, we’re back, and we’ve just finished a flurry of photo uploading activity…which has reminded us just how many good events we’ve been lucky enough to attend. So, we thought we’d tell you what we thought of them.

Here we give you the festival edition…

We’re Lost In Music’s 2014 in Review

Hi everyone!

As 2014 draws to a close, it seems apt that we take a look back at what the year has had to offer.

Sam Smith

Eventim Apollo, London (7th November)

I hold my hands up – I have a real soft spot for Sam Smith. Hearing him sing, either recorded or live, quite often gives me goose bumps and makes me well up a little… I’m not ashamed of this; everyone has one of these artists (or at least should), BUT, I am sure he also annoys quite a lot of people due to his ‘nice guy’ persona  and multitude of famous friends.

Some bill him as ‘the new Adele’, others ‘that singer from the Disclosure record’ – Sam Smith_Eventim Apollohowever you want to describe him, I think you’d struggle to say that he comes across as anything other than a genuine (‘nice’) guy.

If you have been lucky enough to witness one of his live performances, you will likely add that he is very humble and appears to feel truly blessed for the position he is in. Unlike Adele, I think he appears to openly embrace the opportunity he has and seems much more willing to engage with his fans through social media and other mediums.

I will stop gushing now and move onto the gig: Sam’s second night playing Hammersmith’s Eventim Apollo and the final night of his UK tour.

A tale of two festivals… Part II: Unknown Festival, Croatia, 2014 – Days 5 and 6

Bands, DJs, Festivals, Music

UNKNOWN  

Rovinj , Croatia  (8th-12th September)

Featuring: John Talabot, Jamie XX, Eats Everything, Jungle, Ten Walls, Mano le Tough, Simian Mobile Disco, The 2 Bears, Waze & Odyssey, Disclosure, Last Waltz, Jackmaster

Thursday was the day of our Island Party and we were looking forward to seeing John Talabot and Jamie XX back to back. We optimistically (or perhaps pessimistically by this stage) looked out of the apartment window to be greeted by…torrential rain. Oh dear. It looked like the Island Party was unlikely, but, having not yet heard from those infamous mouths, we made our way down to the meeting point to find out whether it would be going ahead. With confirmation that is had indeed been cancelled, we were told that some of the artists from the cancelled Island and Boat Parties would be playing on the pool terrace during the afternoon – that was our plan sorted then! To our delight, one of those artists was Eats Everything! One of our highlights from Ibiza this season, Eats never fails to play for the crowd and always has a cheeky grin on his face. We couldn’t resist a photo opp…and of course a dance!
