Aussie beauty Lisa Mitchell, born in Canterbury, England but raised in New South Wales, Australia, is just twenty years old. She’s probably best known for the appearance of her lovely song ‘Neopolitan Dreams’ on a fabric softener advert a couple of years back. It may have been Persil but I might be mistaken. I digress.
Lisa took to the stage of the packed out Living Room tent thirty minutes late due to an unexpected and complex full band setup behind her, and completed a short set of perfectly pretty acoustic ditties …

One song into Ed’s set, he tells the totally full 500-capacity Living Room tent that he’s played Secret Garden Party three years in a row now, and the past couple of years, he’s played to fewer than twelve people each time.

As Saturday nights go, mine was a real treat. I was lucky enough to be one of 200 people who spent it at The Flowerpot in Kentish Town (incidentally a venue run by the amazing Beans On Toast), where the advertised “members of Mumford & Sons” were in fact joined by Damien Rice, Pete Roe, Alan Pownall, and Angus & Julia Stone for an unforgettable night of music madness.
