Revisiting my first Freedom Sounds Festival...

Anyone who really knows me, will know how much I love nights out soundtracked by The Bluebeaters - easily one of the most uplifting bands I've ever seen live. The first time... in Köln at Freedom Sounds 2017.

Revisiting my first Freedom Sounds Festival...

The last time The Beat's Ranking Roger and I spoke was in the dark at the back of the venue whilst The Delirians performed. Without giving much away, he bloody loved their music.

Revisiting my first Freedom Sounds Festival...

Not the first time I'd seen Stone Foundation live, nor the last. A brilliant live band, both then and now, whose music and shows I will never stop recommending.

Revisiting my first Freedom Sounds Festival...

The first time I saw The Steady 45s live. Their set was exceptional, a real show-stopper.

Revisiting my first Freedom Sounds Festival...

The Beat with legendary Ranking Roger - one of my favourite bands of all time, and probably the main reason I wanted to attend FSF. An added bonus was seeing both Ranking Jnr perform and Ocean Colour Scene's Oscar Harrison on drums.
