Despite the fact there are no more tickets there are posters all over Belfast advertising what will be a fantastic weekend of music up in Derry/Londonderry. Daveit will be representing Chordblossom over the three days so we’ll hopefully be bringing you some great content from there. Although I did manage to get a ticket for Saturday in the ballot and am very excited to see Frightened Rabbit, Foals and Biffy Clyro. If you are in need of some good music and haven’t managed to grab a ticket for the Big Weekend then there are still some crackers on offer!

The song titles and subject matter may be depressing but Robyn is able to craft beautiful songs around them.
