At @SonarLisboa, Eu.Clides softly kicks off the last day. It’s a lazy afternoon with glorious skies and desert winds. His unique voice feels slightly trapped indoor but not for his clube de fãs, palpably moved, in awe of his songwriter talents.
On the first row: Ruth, Bailey, Cecily & Kimmy fire up the dancefloor. It took them an evening to decide which day to book for Sonar, and a chilled afternoon in bed watching
Call Me By Your Name to recover.
