3 days and nights of fun in the fields in the beautiful Lake District

This year Kendal Calling unveil that the fancy dress theme will be Fairy Tales & Comic Books, a magical all encompassing theme that will see the site transform on Saturday, with the entire congregation encouraged to get involved! For the third year, Kendal Calling reveal a fancy dress theme that has been a huge success in previous years with revellers showing incredible innovation and imagination in designing and donning costumes.

Getting dressed up for a festival is all about becoming another version of you, an exaggerated, bold and colourful character. So this year we are transforming the Deer Park into another world with our theme Fairy Tales & Comic Books.

With the backdrop of the stunning Lake District, Kendal Calling expects to see everyone from the pied piper to Wolverine, Little Red Riding Hood to Catwoman, the Gingerbread to Tin Tin all partying together and this years theme will make the event even more of a surreal wonderland of fun and frolics than ever before.

The fun and frolics continues at Kendal Calling in the crazy world of the Happy Slap Boutique. This area will be like no other and is where anything goes, and is the home of electro swing and eclectic music. A haven to transform into creatures and characters, the Happy Slap face-painting boutique will get revelers ready to be immersed in magical worlds, dazzled by spectacular cabaret shows, wowed by our travelling circus and entertained in ways you never thought possible.

Happy Slap Boutique present a world of fairy tales and mischief full of secrets to explore and discover, keeping the entertainment going all weekend. Bump into Jack Sprat, a narcoleptic sleeping beauty or climb up Rapunzel’s hair and witness their take on your classic fairy tales. Performers will be traveling around the festival doing walk-about performance where it’s least expected with music, song, dance and ridiculousness.

As night falls, Happy Slap Boutique transforms into a plethora of circus, fire and glow performances alongside clowning, grotesque burlesque, world famous ‘Rave Aerobics’ and surprise acts that keep buzzing all night. DJs Ocelus, Tom Excell, Dan The Hat, Wolfie Rassmatazz, Magic Lantern, Vinyl Rights Experience, Mikey J & very special guests will spin a genre defying mix of electro swing, jungle, balkan, breakbeat, house & electro. The only music we can guarantee are upbeat party tunes. Check out Happy Slap Radio for exclusive mixes.

Tomorrow there is a commemorative service for to mourn the loss of the lives of the children in the tragic coach accident last week.

There were TV crews, large screen TV’s and security measures put in place – alongside the candles, messages of good will and condolences, flowers and gifts to mark this sad occurrence.

A previous time I was in Leuven was for the Canonization of Damian. Similar set up in the city….but for a wholly different reason.

Sad times.

All went well and it was great to meet up with Jorus, Christ, Diethard, Hietre and the children and then back to Marleen’s for the 6 Nation’s Wales v France game – needless to say Martyn was really happy with the result!

Morecambe FC also won which took us to 50 points and projected safety in League 2 football!

The gig went exceptionally well with a great atmosphere considering the horrific coach crash in Switzerland earlier in the week.

A trip out yesterday after Martyn and Nikki set off to Germany for his first solo gig in a good number of years there – 300+ audience were exstatic and gave a standing ovation – a good start to playing in Germany!

Marleen, Bart and I went off to Wallonia, a French speaking part of Belgium and had a look around an 12th Century abbey before going on to the Waterloo battle fields.

I’m about to set off to The Atomium’ just outside Brussels now and will meet up at the gig tonight in Ingelmunster.

More to follow…

Tickets booked to see him in Mnachester in the summer and a good few months to really get into this album with its’ songs of social commentary, tales of injustice and feelings and emotions.

Typical Bruce, in a good way. with strong tunes to accompany the lyrics.
The E-Street Band (Less Clarence- RIP) will create a great atmosphere but I`m sure many a “tip of the hat” in the direction of the big man will be evident.

Lovely sentiment at the end of the sleeve notes on the album…
