PRIMAVERA SOUND, BARCELONA 2006: THE BEST OF

Three days of dusk 'til dawn festival-going. It was a task set only for the best of the best music lovers. Tara and I took it upon ourselves to represent and put ourselves to the challenge.

Although there were moments where our commitment to the cause was tested (normally between 4 and 5am), when sleep and warmth were such tempting options, the music, the merchandise and those Spanish hotdogs never failed to revive a bout of waning enthusiasm.

So I am happy to report that made it to the end - to 5.30 on Sunday morning when we stumbled home bleary-eyed yet happy-hearted.

Installment 1 of The Best... starts at day 3.
