Big Session 2009
I was up in Leicester over the weekend for the Big Session Festival. If I’m honest, it wasn’t my musical cup of tea on the most part. I can appreciate the folk and all, but it’s not really my thing. That said, a couple of acts did stand out. Babel were a rather pleasant discovery, and Billy Bragg was highly entertaining. I’ve never been a particularly big fan of Bragg, but the man puts on one hell of a show.
A small gallery of photos can be found below. Not many from inside the festival itself largely because I hadn’t worked out how to take pictures in the dark on my new camera. So a handful from the festival and a few pictures from around Leicester in general.























The horrible building is Leicester University, and I think it’s the one they’re knocking down soon and replacing with a new hub that includes a 1700-capacity venue. That’s a venue right next door to a 1600-capacity venue, in a city where the next biggest regular music venue holds 220.
