Lake of Stars has been described as a music festival like no other and it was certainly very different: intimate so that you could touch and mingle with the singers there; dancing with sand underfoot so no need for flip flops let alone willies; and a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, probably due to the sunny weather and the beach. Everyone was happy to be camping next to Lake Malawi.For three nights we simply listened, watched and danced to some great music, surrounded by only around 5,000 people. There were musical stars from Malawi, Congo, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia, and a few bands from the UK too (Noisettes and Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly). For me the acoustic sets were the highlight– realising that these people could really sing and play. The former is something that I was not meant to as many have testified when I do karaoke!
