PICNIC IS HERE: Booka Brass Band Talk About the Friday Line-Up

""We're opening the Other Voices stage at 4pm, and that's going to be great. We played there last year, and it's just an incredible space to do a gig. That stage has some quality stuff for the rest of the day too; Saint Sister are always great, and Rusangano Family are amazing live. It's mostly Irish bands that we're interested in seeing, so we'll be spending a lot of time around the fringes. Ye Vagabonds are playing as well, we'll definitely be checking them out."

"Todd Terje should be a lot of fun in the Electric Arena at 9pm, but we also really want to see the Concert Orchestra play with Jenny Greene in Rankin's Wood at the same time; they're playing a load of 90s hits apparently, and that's a really interesting idea. The BBC Proms did something similar last year, and it worked really well."

"It's good to see Stomptown Brass playing the Salty Dog too – keeping the brass flag flying!
Mind, we're all playing a few gigs with other people throughout the weekend – our Electric Picnic ends at 3am Monday morning! We don't have much lined up for the week after, put it that way."
