Sad news for all involved, as “Butlins have decided to end their six-year relationship with the festival.” I am a veteran of one Camber Sands experience, and I still have flash backs to how awful the place is! No matter where you looked a mutant Seagull seemed to be attacking a small child or woodland creature, and the chalets themselves are like a time warp to the swinging 60’s.

Minehead was like the promised land in comparison, with power showers and kitchens that were not installed during the Nixon presidency.

What would make me go back to Camber Sands? Maybe this line up…

Sharon Van Etten, the Antlers, Owen Pallett, Tim Hecker, Perfume Genius, Kurt Vile, Youth Lagoon, Bear in Heaven, Deerhoof, Menomena, Stars of the Lid, Local Natives, Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire), Hauschka, Hayden, Kronos Quartet, My Brightest Diamond, etc.

It’s pretty amazing really! Tough choice…
