Beached Scarborough festival stage

Summer sounds on the sands

Scarborough hosted its seventh annual 'Beached Festival' in mid-August. It's four fun-filled days of excellent local and national music. For a flavour of just how exciting it all was, check out the video report.

This year's free festival on South Bay beach had two music stages, with the smaller Truck Stage introducing the very best in local talent including the likes of The Pieces, The Occasion and Craig Blair playing over the weekend.

The main stage was a non-stop source of entertainment, with over 30 acts playing over Saturday and Sunday. Headliners Nine Black Alps and Alabama 3 both proved to be the perfect bands to close the main stage each evening, as hundreds gathered on the sands to see them.

Beached Festival veteran acts like Gun Law and Livingston provided impressive sets and the perfect sounds to get people dancing, while local favourites like Fuzzgun Sniper gave a performance for other local acts to aspire to.

Signs of such talent came from this years Beached Academy students, who took to the stage on Sunday morning with a mix of lively bands, talented singer-songwriters, and excellent MC’s to impressing the early enthusiastic crowd.

The weekend also saw the very best in national talents play the festival – up-and-coming bands Foals and Dartz! displayed the future sounds of music, while Essex band InMe played to hundreds of excited fans as the sun set on the horizon.

The Pistolas became festival favourites for many over the weekend with their infectious electro funk-punk sound and entertainingly energetic performance on stage, with most of the large crowd paddling as they danced due to the incoming tide.

Sunday also saw act after act of true talent, with the likes of The Dykeenies, The Hoosiers and Kharma 45 all providing incredible sets and the perfect dancing soundtrack with which to enjoy the weekend’s sunshine.

There was a mini Manchester invasion with up-and-coming acts Them Next Door, The Drainpipes, and The Paddingtons stirring up the crowd from the stage, while Amy MacDonald calmed the chaos with her unique voice and song writing style.

Sand, sea and superb sounds, this years Beached Festival combined everything that summer should be about, bringing together incredible music with a fantastic crowd, amazing atmosphere, and truly unique setting.

So bring on next years festival!

Can Summer get any Better than this?H2007:beached = Deluxe Box Set!My own best pick of the many many quality performances spread over the four days were.....On Saturday on the Truck Stage with Billy Nielsen Band plus a brass Section...total class! his guitar expressed and screamed emotion in the late afternoon early evening sunshine, the sea lapped on the beach and seagulls soared in the sky...On Sunday on the Main Stage with York's/Helmsley's One Night Only whipping up the audience into a crowd surfing frenzy with beach balls bouncing everywhere and chickens flying through the air. .....and That evening, after a salute to recently departed beached crew member Mark 'Ed' Woodward, Alabama3 brought this year's festival to a close on a real high! The gathered throng twirlling lightsabres to their "Sweet Muthaf***in Country Acid House Music" ....and Judging by the tan on my face The Sunshine certainly came out to play in h2007!Top banana!Three Cheers and a round of Applause to the Big Beached Crew!Heres to H2008:beached!YoursCaptain AntsP.S.
