It's Sunday evening and BBC 6 Music Festival is coming to an end. O2 Victoria Warehouse is hosting its third headline show of the weekend just 14 hours after the festival's Rave Forever club night finished and so the atmosphere in the venue is somewhat sleepy.
The exquisite reggae covers played by DJ Don Letts set the tone for the final night of the festival as the songs summon some to sway. But support act The Big Moon struggle to warm up the slightly sombre crowd – although the all-female foursome are as fun as ever.
Anticipation builds as presenter Tom Robinson introduces the headliner – Arlo Parks. He praises the 22-year-old performer whose melancholic music provided an apt soundtrack for the pandemic, giving hope to a generation at a time when we all needed it most.
