Lytham Festival spectacularly announced its return last night with a wind-blown feast of music from Hozier, Brittany Howard, Lord Huron and Ye Vagabonds.
Arriving at the usually tranquil Lytham Green I was instantly taken in by the party atmosphere of the hundreds of thousands of folk who had travelled far and wide to attend the yearly musical affair which has firmly established itself into the festival calendar. The site was buzzing with excitement as the young, old and middling gathered to catch a glimpse of headliner Hozier – for it was Hozier who the crowd had come to see.
You didn’t have to be a super fan to appreciate the quality which oozes out of the Irish-born musician. He smoothly transitioned from a mellow start into some more upbeat tracks, and also included what he described as a fun round of musical tennis with a little sing and repeat with the crowd. But it wasn’t until Too Sweet when the audience truly erupted and we fully immersed ourselves in Hozier’s enticing tones.
