Gentlemen Of The Road - Lewes 19th-20th July.

At the weekend I was lucky enough to go to a small festival called Gentlemen Of The Road, set up by Mumford & Sons. They themselves organised this tour in which they stop over at 5 different destinations, one in the UK, one in Canada and three in the US. The destination in the UK happened to be a little town called Lewes which happens to be about 15 minutes from where I live.

Warning: This post is going to be very photo heavy!



'The Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers are all about live music. We get to put them on in towns not normally frequented by touring bands in buses or splitter vans. We deliberately look for towns that have something unique, or some vibe of which they are proud,  explore them and enjoy what they have to offer.' http://www.mumfordandsons.com/news/2013-gentlemen-of-the-road-stopovers-announced

The main headline bands for the weekend were:
Friday - Vampire Weekend
Saturday - Mumford & Sons

My favourite bands across the weekend would have to have been:


Bear's Den


 Edward Sharpe & 
The Magnetic Zeros


     
Vampire Weekend








                                         

                   

The Vaccines.
                     

I went with my best friend Libby, you can find her blog here, her sister and her friend. Photos were either taken by me, Libby or her sister or her friend Lauren!
Here are a few photos from across the weekend:

Overall had a lovely weekend spent out in the sun listening to some great music! Well worth £75 for the whole weekend for sure.
