BINGLEY LIVE - SUNDAY

The theme of the last day at Bingley Music Live was Pirate Day with quite a few revellers entering into the spirit and dressing up as pirates!

Bringing some old school vibes with a modern twist to Bingley Live, Katy B arrived on stage with her two dancers and DJ.

She might look a little larger than I seem to remember but she worked the crowd well. She introduced her new single 5am and informed the crowd that she was filming the video for the track the next day.

She told the crowd that they were a "sick audience" - to the uninitiated that is urban speak for being rather good. It was her last single What Love is Made Of which showed that there is some depth to her material. Lights On, her second single also sets her apart from her peers and got the crowd jumping.

It was appropriate to see another Yorkshire act on the main stage again, this time it was the turn of Wakefield's The Cribs. Looking more like a New York garage band than from down the M1, the band had even their own backdrop which not many acts had at Bingley Live.

Twins, Gary and Ryan Jarman took turns at vocal duties whilst the crowd took over singing duties during the single Men's Needs. Gary said "that it was great to be playing in Yorkshire" and he sounded like he meant it too. In a powerful energetic performance the band won over my new fans amongst the audience.
