Festivals are the place for ad hoc performances,guest appearances and cover songs and former Walkmen member Peter Matthew Bauer kept up this tradition by playing his Big Top show with a band he found on Twitter.
Bauer explained "I arrived in London without a band so I sent a Twitter to see if I could get one,and these guys replied. We met yesterday and this is our first show together."
Bauer's new band even managed to help him flesh out and complete a new song,fitting in seamlessly with the rest of his storming set.
The magic of festivals, huh?
