seaside is looking like a right old knees up - Friendly Fires have played almost every Bestival going so I'm delighted to see them coming
to Camp and we've done loads of work on our arts and literary side and to have interview sessions with Andrea Arnold,
Nigel Godrich and DJ Derek is ace. Lots and lots more stuff coming next week… Hold tight!"
