EP 2010: DONE & DUSTED

ANOTHER YEAR over, and 2010 was one of my favourite Electric Picnics yet. The line up was as good as it looked on paper, working for the Daily Ticket was an absolute pleasure (especially the hotel room at the end of each night – don’t think I can return to the horrors of camping ever again), and we even got at least one glorious day of sunshine.
