Atmosphere: Tentatively excitable. Hangovers? There's no time for hangovers at Electric Picnic, but Toby Kaar's set was enough to drive (sorry) the cobwebs from the minds of even the mouldiest of minds. The Cork man drew a small but appreciative crowd, getting them revved up (again, sorry) nicely for day two.
High: The sheer enthusiasm emanating from the stage – you won't see an artist happier to be flicking buttons and dancing behind a desk all weekend.
Low: A bigger crowd would have made for a really electrifying ambiance.
Quote: A clearly delighted "This is fookin' great!" (insert thick Cork accent here).
Verdict: A groovalicious set that gently propelled us into Saturday, with beautifully colourful flourishes of electronica mixed with propulsive beats. It's no surprise that Kaar is the current wunderkind of Irish electronica – and there's no indication of a crash anytime soon.
Star rating: 3.5
