Mid-May is a good time to be at the western end of the island. The main tourist season has not started, the weather is often settled, and The Waterfront at Totland Bay has a relaxed atmosphere that the summer crowds change. Coverflow plays the Sunday Live afternoon on 10 May, covering a range of familiar tracks from a stage that is close enough to the bar that the sound feels personal rather than amplified.
Coverflow are a covers act who lean into the material rather than just running through it: the set tends to move through decades in a way that keeps the room engaged across the full three hours. The Sunday afternoon format suits this kind of performance well; people arrive at different points, eat, stay for the music, and leave when the evening starts to cool. Dogs appear. Children run the length of the terrace. It is the kind of afternoon that the island does better than most places.
Free entry, no booking. The Waterfront is on the Totland promenade. More music events across the island this season.
