Los Albertos in The Spiegeltent was like the world's best party, beautifully gift-wrapped and left in the middle of Brighton for all to enjoy.

Spreading more good vibes than a dancing monkey handing out tequila shots, they played an uplifting, horn-driven mix of swing, jazz, ska and drum'n'bass, with a set of mainly original tracks.

Drinking and joking their way through the set, the band looked like there was nowhere else in the world they'd rather be than the Spiegeltent and the feeling was infectious. With songs of cheeky rascals, driving a van, while not getting a tan and hankerings for a booze take-out - "three bottles of Blue Nun and two crates of Stella" no less - this was Chas and Dave meets Bad Manners, led by Count Basie.

Cheekiness aside, they are multiinstrumentalists, who share lead vocals, creating a super-tight, all-consuming sound. Afterwards, as I sat outside in the Spiegel Garden, sipping beer and soaking up the festival atmosphere, it occurred to me Los Albertos might just be my new favourite band.
