Uncharacteristically blazing sun and the soft rolling Water Of Leith provided the backdrop to our latest excursion into the fresh air, this time accompanied by the delightful Honeytrap. Fresh(ish) from a rousing appearance in the capital the night before – with the apres-gig entertainings ending brief hours before we met up – we dragged them down to the river to play.

To start the day off right, we got ‘To America’, a shimmering pearl of gypsy indie, a Jarvis-fronting-Beirut, tempo-changing balalaika of a song, with an exhortation to move to America that may or may not be entirely serious.
