GOING to a festival with kids takes patience, endurance and courage. It will break you mentally and physically, but it will show you a fascinating, whole other world.

When it comes to soaring talent and swashbuckling fun, this show has it in spades. A refreshing production that is not only perfect for parents, but is a flying introduction to the power of musical theatre for youngsters in the audience.
WHAT better antidote to these uncertain times, than an evening with BBC historian Neil Oliver. With his reassured, laid-back nature, the genial Scot was in town to let us know that there was no need to panic (there are more Dad’s Army references in the show).
BRINGING the Jamaican sunshine with him, reggae legend Toots Hibbert lit up the O2 Academy tonight. The sun shines on the righteous and Toots has more than paid his dues.
THERE’s no escaping the fact that Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle is aimed squarely at families. Far from being the encumbrance to hedonism that you’d imagine, there’s a world of fun to be had together (in a sober and parentally responsible way of course).
A NEAR sold-out Shelley Theatre is a thing of beauty. Intimate and atmospheric, the Bournemouth Folk Club audience listening intently to the line-up of top folk artists.
YOU know you’re onto a winner, when you wake up humming the songs from the night before. Like the three spirits that visit Ebenezer Scrooge, this musical adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, will stay with you long after the final curtain.
THE ghost of Britpop past made a welcome visitation to the O2 Academy tonight. Riding high on the 1990s revival currently being led by swaggering former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher, the venue was rammed with all three floors heaving.
LOUD enough to wake the dead is how you’d best describe Brighton duo Royal Blood. Unfortunately it still wasn’t noisy enough to rouse the majority of the sleepy Bournemouth audience.
IT was a first for Bournemouth to have folk sensation Heidi Talbot and her band in town. With a warm welcome, the large audience of the Bournemouth Folk Club quickly put the Irish musician at ease.
