Edinburgh Popfest photos and video

A couple of weeks ago we had the pleasure of playing some records on the Saturday night of Edinburgh Popfest. It was a great day and we had a blast playing some tunes for those hardy enough to last a 12-hour all-dayer.

This was our last song of the night - the lights had come on but no-one was ready to stop dancing just yet.
