We are super pleased to announce that folk firebrand Seth Lakeman will be making the short trip from Devon to Dorset to unleash his fiddle-powered rock n reels. Mercury nominated for his second album Kitty Jay and with his brand new album Hearts And Minds racing in to the Top Ten in this week's midweek charts, Seth looks set to be celebrating another hit album with the Camp B faithful. And the excitement doesn't stop there, as undisputed legends The Jolly Boys (pictured) will also be making a very welcome appearance. One of Jamaica's most enduring and well respected acts, The Jolly Boys are the world's finest exponents of Mento and have been active since the mid-fifties, influencing the pantheon of ska and reggae greats that followed in their wake. With their infectious Mento versions of modern classics ready to rock the party, The Jolly Boys will be one of the best live acts you'll catch all year.
