Last week (how is it a week ago already!) we set sail on the Boaty Weekender. Four days at sea with some of our favourite bands!
Thursday
The first band we saw was The Vaselines in the Atrium. It was a great start!Next we saw the solo show by Stina of Honeyblood, also in the Atrium.
We were so excited to see Belle and Sebastian on the pool deck just after we had set sail.
Tracyanne & Danny played in the Atrium.
We only saw a bit of Teenage Fanclub on the pool deck as we tried to fit too many things in! We quickly followed them up with Django Django in the Spinnaker Lounge, awesome and very loud!
Friday
The first band we saw was Alvvays on the pool deck, it was very hot!
The Belle and Sebastian Q&A session was good.
Camera Obscura on the Pool Deck was one of my highlights of the weekend. So good to see them play again!
Honeyblood at the Spinnaker were really excellent.
Hinds in the Atrium were so much fun!
Saturday
This was the day in port at Cagliari so there weren’t any bands until the evening. We stayed on the boat and had a bit of a rest.
We saw Buzzcocks with other artists joining them. So good!
Camera Obscura in the Atrium was next, a really intimate and fun gig.
Belle And Sebastian were playing on the pool deck again. This time we stood on the walk way behind the stage, it was fun to see them play from behind and be really close to everything.
Afterwards there was a B&S dance party, we danced around a lot!
We popped over to Magnums to catch Wojtek the Bear, our new favourite band! We went back to the dance party and carried on dancing all night!
Sunday
We woke up a bit tired from our very late night dancing.
We drank coffee and watched The Vaselines from the shade as it was very warm on deck!
In the afternoon we had the Belle and Sebastian Fold Your Hands show in the Stardust Theatre. This was for the people who booked early.
Later on, we also saw Camera Obscura in the theatre, another great performance, so happy to have seen them 3 times!!!
We had a little bit of time to catch a couple of songs from Mogwai on the pool deck.
We went back to the Theatre to see Alvvays again. That was the last gig we saw of our Boaty Weekender.
There were more bands we didn’t get to see, it was hard to decide which ones to go to at some points! If only we could have gone to all the gigs!
