Keane at Kenwood

After Saturday at Reading festival came Sunday at Kenwood to see Keane. A lazy day compared to Saturday. Started with drinks at my friends in Hampstead at 6pm, a strong contrast to packing morning trains to Berkshire and trekking through campsites in drizzle. And you get a better class of tipple at a Kenwood do. A pint of Elderflower cider. Seriously nice.

First up was the very classy Laura Mvula, with a very classy backing group. Would perhaps have suited a more intimate venue, but still a fine set. (A harp always adds a touch of class don't you think?)



But we were there for Keane. A guilty pleasure of mine. You do get a wide age range for Keane. There are young followers, but one can't get away from it, they have a very senior audience. Indeed I fit quite happily into this band's age range. But they are just very good, and I will continue to see them whenever I can, although rarely will get the chance for a nicer setting than Kenwood House.
