The first Concrete and Glass festival kicked off last Thursday with a slew of great performances spread around the various East London venues. We had our own stage, of course, with Frightened Rabbit, Bodies Of Water and O'Death all doing themselves ample justice and helping us celebrate our eighth birthday in considerable style. Here's some snaps of the first day's action...
