Meg Mac enlivened the afternoon, taking in highlights from last year’s No.2 album Low Blows, including the excellent title track and groovier Ride It. A cover of Tame Impala’s Let It Happen has become a staple and a crowd-pleaser, and she ended with 2014’s upbeat Roll Up Your Sleeves.

Barefoot pedal-loop multi-instrumentalist Tash Sultana, a genius in the body of an ingenue, lived up to her headline status with a riveting, hypnotic set. It started simply, but as she built the layers of extemporaneous sound it became lush and intriguing.

Sultana’s sets are unstructured and improvised so even familiar songs are given surprising reinvention, and usually the indulgence pays off. Salvation was the best of the early songs in the set, and while Notion was left off the album Flow State it was a great inclusion.

Sultana’s psychedelic symphonies came to attention thanks to the overnight and worldwide success of Jungle, and along with Free Mind it was arguably the most accessible track of the night. The joy came from watching her jump from instrument to instrument with ease, shredding the guitar and wondering what was going to come next.
