Song East began last night at Toynbee Studios, with performances from folk visionary Alasdair Roberts, Cameroonian blues exemplar Muntu Valdo and beguiling singer-songwriter Kami Thompson. The intimate setting of the studios provided the perfect stage for the three vocalists, who performed a series of solo sets interspersed with original collaborations. Last night wasn't your only chance to catch them in action. Song East takes place from today until Tuesday, so if you're at a loose end over the weekend, head over to East London and take advantage of what EAST festival has to offer. All gigs are free. Just turn up early to make sure you get in!
