Beach Break 2010 Preview

10/06/10

With Download festival kicking off this weekend and Dylan announced as the Hop Farm headliner, Beach Break has a lot to compete with this year. But with an eclectic line up, sporting bands from the eccentric Vampire Weekend and the herky-jerky Futureheads to the glamorous, Calvin Harris, it’s unlikely to let us down.

Only three days to go, this year will see Pembrey County Park in South Wales flooded with campers, as Britain’s biggest student festival has sold out for the forth year in a row, meaning 500 extra tickets are up for grabs.

With 15 venues spread out across the festival grounds, anything is possible. Pull some shapes and dance like your Dad to the jazz and jive music of the Moustache bar, kick back in the sunshine and let the folk tunes wash away your worries by The Boat, escape to the bohemian meadows of The Lost Gardens, get retro in the old school Vintage Funfair and attempt to uncover the intriguing Secret Venue.

Artists from the astounding line up will play at the various venues at the seaside affair and even if the assortment of tunage isn’t good enough for you, you can try your chances with an audience at ‘Jam Tart’ the festival’s open mic nights at The Leaky Sheep Pub.

With plenty to do all week from Celtic games and Free Running through to Yoga and Burlesque classes there won’t be a second of boredom at this years Beach Break. Ending on a high with a musical legends themed fancy dress finale make sure to grab your pointy bras and don your Lycra Cat suits. Just about everyone will be dressing for the occasion, so don’t let us down.

I have a lot to catch up with over the summer and I plan to reinstate the use of my blog as it has most certainly been subject to the above over the past couple of months.

I have just spent two weeks at Hallam FM radio station on work experience, attended the Bournemouth summer ball. Tomorrow is my sister's 21st, I am off to Beach Break on Monday and in a few weeks time I will be heading to London for work experience at the Fly magazine so there will be a lot to talk about :)

For now I will bid you good night :)
