Glastonbury sets, gigs, albums and a playlist

Before they're gone... my favourite sets from Glastonbury, and I haven't watched that much of it. But, don't miss - This is the Kit, a set full of love, life and wonder - Nitin Sawney, hugely enjoyable, Nitin and co on top form - Lankum, dark folk, - Barry Can't Swim, pure joy (and the album and new single are also excellent).

I've been to a couple of gigs - younger daughter and I ventured to the Stirling Sessions for cold but stirring outings by noname and Young Fathers - if you get the opportunity to see Young Fathers live don't miss them. Then Louise and I had an afternoon in Edinburgh followed by Nils Frahm live at the Usher Hall. Unexpectedly Nils finished the set with some old favourites, even dusting off the toilet brushes. My favourite albums of late, the afore mentioned Barry Can't Swim and a new record by Cassandra Jenkins, yes it is as good as Phenomenal Nature - and we have tickets for the Glasgow gig.....

Young Fathers live in Stirling.
