Whitney find time for a secret session at End of the Road Festival
If you'd walked past a certain leafy corner of End of the Road Festival this afternoon – one tucked away behind an impromptu songwriting group, a kids' storytelling grotto, and a creative noise tent, between trees and under multicoloured bunting – you'd have possibly heard some soft trumpet floating from a gap in the trees.
Follow the path and that sound and you'd have found Whitney, the much-buzzed young indie group from Chicago, gathered on a tiny path, performing a Best Fit session.
The band members were standing around singer-percussionist Julian, who sat sitting cross-legged on the earth, and together played a soft acoustic version of "No Woman", the lead track from their lauded self-titled debut album, under branches and deep green leaves of the forest.
The session took place a couple of hours ahead of the band's highly anticipated main set at the Big Top stage of the festival.
