It's day 5 of Sydney Festival, and the first round of artists are coming to an end. Tonight marked the final performance in the Spiegeltent of Montreal's Patrick Watson, who went on to play at Beck's Festival Bar (replacing The Middle East and supporting Grizzly Bear) for his final Sydney gig - and we were there!
If there is one musical event which has come to encapsulate Summer in Australia, there's no argument that it's the Big Day Out
- the 2010 edition of which has now sold out around the country,
despite a lineup born out of a recycling bin. But in Sydney, there is a
parallel force for our Summer, full of original and often awe-inspiring energy, coming to signify the season for many: Sydney Festival. "This is Our City in Summer," indeed.
