Strummercamp gets 5/5 Review in Big Cheese

STRUMMERCAMP 2011, 

Manchester Rugby Club

5/5

Now into it’s sixth year, Strummercamp has survived where many a small festival hasn’t, mainly due to it’s friendly atmosphere, excellent selection of emerging (King Blues played here before fame hit them) and established bands and, to put it bluntly, it’s prices. It has never breached £60 for a weekend ticket, with free car parking and camping... in the arena! plus cheap booze and food. The mixture of reggae, folk, hip-hop, ska, blues, 2 tone and every sub genre of punk going make this festival special. In the past The Beat, The Damned, Goldblade, Billy Bragg and countless others have graced this small stage, all hosted undercover (such is the Manchester weather). A not-for-profit event organised voluntarily by Joe Strummer’s friends; you can expect plenty of Clash covers, but also top acts like headliners UK Subs, Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band and The Selecter. Add to this the Hempen Jig Bar stage with folk acts like political comedy duo Crack Town and post-punker Louise Distras and top off with the TNS Stage with some very talented bands like Revenge of the Psychotronic Man and Ed Ache and you have a festival winner.
