Yesterday was 'summer solstice' - incase you don't know what that actually means, here are some facts:
Sol + stice derives from a combination of Latin words meaning "sun" + "to stand still." As the days lengthen, the sun rises higher and higher until it seems to stand still in the sky.
As a major celestial event, the Summer Solstice results in the longest day and the shortest night of the year. The Northern Hemisphere celebrates in June, but the people on the Southern half of the earth have their longest summer day in December.
It's a little sad to think about aleady having had the longest day of the year while most of us feel that summer has just started, so make the most of your time by enjoying your friends and family and the summertime weather- and by all means: Get out there and see local live music!
