Really cool version of this rocker to start the Rave.īarny Da Silva is your quintessential young rockin’ frontman, sharply attired, and strumming the bejesus out of his rhythm guitar. Easy does it to start with before they all turned around and launched into the song. Yes it was Charlie Feathers’ ‘Stutterin’ Cindy’. Stood with their back to the audience to start with, Claude Placet’s lead guitar riff sounded familiar, and built in speed and volume. Thursday night, it’s just the main ballroom for the live acts, and it was the French four-piece Barny and the Rhythm Allstars that took the stage first. Now the gulls swoop around the Harris Hawk. A couple of years ago, a Harris Hawk patrolled around the camp scaring them away. I don’t think a single car escaped at least one seven inch diameter splat of gull crap this time. Now with everything, I can just about get June in and we need a wheelbarrow to transport everything from the car across to the chalet…….We’ve had an ongoing dislike of the gulls at Camber, but this year they surpassed themselves with the amount of guano they produced. ![]() Return to first block and enter chalet you’ve been ten yards away from in the first place….As youngsters, we could get four of us in my escort with luggage.

How many (other than me and Miss Aloha) see the name Ray Allen and automatically think ‘Damn silly arse’?.How to locate your chalet when you arrive and are given your number. Not something you might expect to get excited about, but a less irritating cloth style, half the size, and no sharp edges to slice through your sheets, partner, hair or body parts while you’re asleep….OK, I’ll aim this at our fellow countryfolk. Best tracks at the Rave ever ever to bucket your chucket for this year are Jerry Lee Lewis’ ‘As Long As I Live’, Gene Vincent’s ‘A Love ‘em and Leave ‘em Kinda Guy’ and George Jones ‘Revenoor Man’ ………New style wrist bands. This is the biggest review we’ve ever written about any weekender, so grab a bevvy and a packet of Hob Nobs (other Nobs are available), and relive four days at Rockabillyland Sure there are a few bands that we missed, logistically it wasn’t possible to get round everywhere, and I’m sure there will be those who’d say we’d missed ‘the best band of the weekend’, but hey, we do eat :D ![]() Once again, we are here to give you the fullest review, words and pictures, going where others fear to tread. It’s windy, it’s cold, and it’s p*ss*ng down, hooray! The gentle breeze offers some cooling relief as musical strains waft through the air, and…….’OI, Wake up! It’s time for the Rockabilly Rave at Camber Sands Pontins site. ![]() It’s the middle of summer you know, time to get your shorts and Cabana sets out and bask in the glorious sunshine on the South Coast of England in pristine accommodation with the finest gourmet food.
