As camping is one of my all time most hated pastimes, festivals are somewhat of the unknown to me!
On Sunday I went to the Chester Rocks festival in the UK, which is a 2 day 'no camping allowed festival' which consists of music acts, fairground rides and ridiculously overpriced food and drink stands. This is completely up my street as it has all the qualities of a festival just without the sleeping in a canvas house lacking in any toilet or shower facilities! HAPPY DAYS!
On Sunday the line up was as follows:
Scarletts Roses
Charlie Brown
Amelia Lily
Lawson
Jessie J
Before the festival the only act I was excited to see was Jessie J as I think I am a little in love with this woman and would actually marry her if I could!
I was surprised by the other acts as they were all fantastic!
Scarlett's Roses were the biggest surprise for me on the day as I had never heard of them before and therefore had no expectations at all!
They are a London based live band with quirky, upbeat and catchy songs which are guaranteed to have you dancing the whole way through. They are generally a pop band but hip hop, reggae and ska have a heavy influence on the music which is apparent in every song you listen to.
The great thing about all of their songs is that their lyrics are so relatable. Another surprise I had from the band was when I came home and searched for them on YouTube immediately is that I found a song uploaded 3 years ago and they are STILL not signed to a label which I find ridiculous!
You can follow them on Twitter @Scarlettsroses and join in the campaign #GetScarlettsRosesSigned.
Charlie Brown was fantastic and his new single 'Floodgates' is a slow but catchy song which I anticipate will do very well.
The highlight of the night for me though was definitely Jessie J! This was my first time seeing her live and she exceeded all my expectations of what she would be like. I was in the 2nd row from the stage and couldn't be any closer if I tried! Here is a picture of her looking right at me ... OH-EM-GEE!!!!!
Did you go to Chester Rocks? Have you seen any of these acts before?
I hope you all had a fab weekend,
Enjoy your day!
