Kiran Leonard opened the main stage at the inaugural BBC Radio 6 Music Festival on Saturday. A highlight was the six and a half minute long version of ‘Geraldo’s Farm’ – complete with violin solo – which closed his set, perfectly showcasing the new four-piece live band. The singles ‘Dear Lincoln’, ‘Port-Ainé’ and ‘Wild Walks’ were also performed, as well as a brand new song ‘Don’t Make Friends With Good People’.
In the run up to the festival, Kiran was a guest on Steve Lamacq’s Round Table show. He was also interviewed alongside Damon Albarn and Maxine Peake for BBC Radio 4’s Front Row programme, performing a special stripped-down version of ‘Dear Lincoln’.
