6 exclusive shots of Jake Bugg at Reading Festival

23 August 2014:Before Arctic Monkeys took their throne as kings of british indie, Jake Bugg played a sunset slot on the main stage yesterday that indicated not all classic songwriters are nine feet under.

His songs possessed a sonic maturity beyond his years. He was largely composed throughout, stood still letting the music provide the dynamics, however he broke his stern, troubled appearance during 'Broken' where he appeared genuinely moved by the appreciation from the main stage audience and appeared to have a lump in his throat, yet held back the tears. Set closer 'Lightning Bolt' saw him crack a second smile to a rapturous applause.
