title The First Latitude Festival, Henham Park, Suffolk - 14th July 2006 intro Nosher, Isobel, The Boy Phil, and Andrew from Ipswich head off to sample a day at the very first Latitude Festival, held at Henham Park near Southwold in Suffolk. There's a good variety of cultural highlights, such as Poetry and Literary tents, as well as a decent selection of non-mainstream music, and even the food is above-average. The only downer is the lack of decent beer, as there's only canned lager or cider on offer. Although originally deciding upon Friday because of the headline act - Snow Patrol - it turns out that there are several other must-see bands, especially the re-formed The Veils, as well as The Zutons and Ed Harcourt. img_2591 The under-repair town clock is spinning madly img_2593 Vega 4 on stage img_2602 A little bit of the band Vega 4 img_2605 The Boy Phil looks around img_2607 Another band in the Obelisk Arena img_2610 The Boy Phil drinks beer img_2611 Isobel's on the lager img_2614 Andrew returns from a trip behind a bush img_2615 Andrew on Carling img_2620 A mystery band in the Obelisk Arena img_2622 The reformed Veils img_2628 In the Sunrise Arena, The Veils are on stage img_2636 Keyboards action img_2646 The Crimea are in the middle of their set img_2647 More from The Crimea img_2651 The end of the Crimea's set img_2668 Another band img_2678 A bit of Lemn Sissay in the Stand-up Poetry Arena img_2683 Ross Sutherland MC in the Stand-up Poetry Arena img_2705 Ed Harcourt in the Uncut Arena img_2708 In the Uncut Arena, Ed Harcourt starts his set img_2718 Ed Harcourt on keyboards img_2722 Ed Harcourt and his double-bassist img_2724 A queue for something img_2725 The Henham Park site img_2726 The Uncut Arena img_2727 Isobel flakes out in the long grass img_2730 Andrew lies down and waves img_2731 Fancy food img_2733 Isobel scopes the food out img_2735 We grab a bit of actually-quite-decent food img_2737 Falafel on fire img_2739 Heading off to the Obelisk Arena img_2748 The Zutons in the Obelisk Arena img_2757 Nosher gets a quick peck from Isobel img_2762 Snow Patrol bathed by red and yellow lights img_2774 Snow Patrol headline the Obelisk Arena
