Ellie at Sold out festival this weekend!

Hello, I played my biggest gig yet this weekend at Harvest on Jimmys farm in Suffolk. 10,000 people went down for the weekend at the sold out festival and me and my band opened the show for their first ever festival and was introduced by Jimmy himself.

For those of you that haven’t seen the TV series, Jimmy is a childhood friend of TV Legend chef Jamie Oliver who campaigns against processed food in schools and against unhealthy diets in the UK. Jimmy is a ‘rare breed’ pig farmer and ‘Jimmy Doherty’s Farming hero’s’ is a show on BBC 2.

Lots of lush animals down on the farm from the meditating mountain goats to cute pigs that look like little dogs with snouts and gorgeous satin coated cows. Feeling secretly proud to be a vegetarian as the animals looked too lovely to eat to me!!!

Made lots of new friends and watched brilliant sets by indie folk cool cat Jose Gonzalez, the very beautiful and charismatic KT Tunstall, the legend and personal favourite of mine Badly Drawn Boy, other-worldly violin extaordinaire Seth Lake man (who I had never heard before but am now a big fan) and soul singer Sam Lewis, KT Tunstall’s guitarist as well as loads of other cool artists.

I was able to hang out back stage and got a kiss and hug from the lovely KT, who is one of those women that is even more beautiful in real life and chatted with one of my hero’s Badly Drawn boy (who I thanked in the credits of my first album) whose an extremely sweet and creative guy dubbing me and Hils (my keys player) ‘chess board sisters’
