Triumph at Trinity Festival 2015




Trinity festival tops off an amazing summer of music in Hull, thanks to Hull Trinity Church, Oscars Bar and Warren Records for helping bring it together and supporting local music and getting everyone ready for the city of culture 2017.

Friday night was not attended by us but from the videos, pictures and words spoke online from attendees everyone left with a smile on their face and something to be proud of as Hull show cased the best talent around. 



Saturday was much of the same but not in a bad way, it showcased some amazing talent in the local area. Baby Tooth kicked the day off with a punk start before we rocked out to Demi Mondaines. The Talkdown and Streaming Lights both with a growing fan base draw in the crowds with their easy going Indi smooth jams. Hands Off Gretel not only take the biscuit they devour the whole house with their edgy hard-core sound similar to that of Juliet Louise or Hole. Breeze flash their captivating tunes as well as their whitest whites before Lake Komo take things back to a country classic vibe. Affairs and Life both delivered great sets with their own signature style hammered into the surface outside Trinity church.

 All these were the warm up to essex boys, Eliza & The Bear who were playing their first ever headline festival show. Although they admitted they were nervous before going on stage them nerves did not show through as they delivered a blisteringly amazing set. Their sound is tight and songs are huge as they convert more fans into the Eliza fold. I managed to grab an interview with them in Trinity church which was dark, cold and frankly a new experience for me. Big kudos for the guys for being so approachable and nice, same goes for their sound guy and Fraser who was their tour manager.

Sunday seen the day end in style with lots more singalong and dance along’s.  Wayward Suns deliver melting guitar rhythms while Delta Vega made everything B, B, Better with their catchy, fun and unmissable set as ever. Eastwood and The Quicksilver Kings excite the audience with their down to earth blues/acoustic styles, perfect in the autumn sun.  Dogwood Flowers and The Fronteers are two acts to watch out for in the future as they get rapturous applauses from the audience. Nineties Boy, Luke doesn’t seem to take a break ever! After he has been hosting all the summer events including this one, he still has time to hit the stage to perform a half an hour set of his Defining grime/hip-hop sound. Bud Sugar are also one of them defining sounds from the city of Hull, their set couldn’t be more engaging as they have a flag bearer, singalongs and their infamous sign moving its way through the crowd after the set. 
 
The night is finished off with not one but two well established Ska/Reggie Punk acts. First up is The Talks who are local lads as well as seasoned touring artists. Playing an energetic and fun filled set they work the crowd into a frenzy in anticipation for 1980’s legends, The Beat. The Beat play a standard hit filled set with the crowd going wild for it and shouting songs out for the band to play next. They also slip in a cheeky cover version of Rock The Kasbah which gets everyone feeling left out getting into the party spirit. This is one band that know how to headline and know how to finish off Hull Trinity Festival 2015 with a bang.
