First Light for the Second Time!

First Light happened! Rain, a thunderstorm, premature burning, stunning kites, magic music, tear-making moments, delicious oysters, some excellent rants, and a beautiful Sunday morning.

I only managed to experience a smidgeon of what was on offer in the 24 hours, but those moments were worthwhile indeed.

Andy Sheppard's evening jazz set, the Shanties, the Coronation Kings (who movingly celebrated Father's day and Lowestoft's amazing musical heritage), and Group A were my particular highlights.

I missed John Ward,  the storm, the earlier than scheduled burning of Pakefield Man, the sunrise, and everything in Kensington Gardens, so it's a bit of a hodgepodge of photos. 

Next year, I really am going to make the dawn, and generally be better prepared for Lowestoft's flagship cultural enterprise.

A big shout-out to the organisers, the volunteers, and the Lowestoft people who turned out in their thousands to support it.
