Clockenflap

{The many signs leading me from the MTR station to the location of Clockenflap}
Being an Ottawa girl, born and raised, I am no stranger to music festivals (e.g., Bluesfest!) so when I heard about Clockenflap, Hong Kong's Music and Art Festival, I knew that I had to go. I didn't really recognise any of the names in the line-up for the weekend-long festival, other than one band, Noughts and Exes, that I was introduced to by a friend a couple of months back during a live show of theirs at the Full Cup Café. The big headliner the night that we attended was Azealia Banks whose music I had never heard before and there were many U.K. artists as well as local bands. It was a fine, cool and misty night that was only complemented by the good music, the beautiful view of the harbour, and the company that we had which made for great time at Clockenflap!
