Review: Southsea Fest 2009

On a warm hazy afternoon, Albert Road in Southsea was buzzing with activity.

There was a very young crowd at the Joiners for Flamboyant Bella. VERY young. When I walked in, the average age shot up to around 20, and I’m sadly way older than that. I was a bit worried I’d be kicked out for [...]

The night was opened frantically by the advertised headliners Baddies. The Southend foursome explained that they were heading straight to Glastonbury after the set and they didn’t want to risk being locked out of the festival. Some of the music press [...]
