Kendal calling feature: Scarlet quick fire questions

From mixed inspirations to festival survival tips and drinking buddies, Scarlet is a band who know their stuff, like what you must have at a festival and who is best to stick with on a desert island. I caught up with lead singer Jessie, drummer Jacob and guitarist Adam about to find out if drummers are really the crazy ones, how not to look like an alien at a festival and what started it all in terms of stage performances. Question 1: what is your festival must have? It can be as ridiculous or logical as you like. Jacob: Sunglasses because when your hungover no one has to see you.
