From today Kendal Calling is taking place in the Lake District. A very special diner is going to be there. That's Tim Peaks Diner, the fabulously thrilling invention of Tim Burgess, frontman of The Charlatans. Each year Tim, a carefully chosen group of talented individuals, ranging from emerging to established bands and talents, and a hyped up audience gather together in what could be considered the heart of Kendal Calling, the diner. Standing on a hill at the corner of the festival, this cosy diner attracts many, offering plenty of surprises and treats, sure to excite everyone. Tim Peaks coffee, Totes Amazebars (a child of Totes Amazeballes, Tim's very own cereal brand) and good music. It's not one to miss.
This year I'm honoured to be Writer in Residence for Tim Peaks Diner, a now three year running tradition, with past writers being Abi Gillibrand and Mr Pinkster. I'll be interviewing bands, writing reviews and informing you of all the happenings in what's possibly the best place on Earth.
Loryn, assistant writer to myself, and I will be setting off tomorrow and we can't wait! It's going to be an amazing weekend. Be sure to check back over the weekend and see what we're up to, and if you're off to Kendal Calling, don't forget to stop by the diner. You never know what you'll find!
Be sure to catch, amongst others: Pusher, Frankie and the Heartstrings, Seahawks, The Everly Pregnant Brothers, Hot Vestry, The Hummingbirds and Jasmine Needham, a 14 year old who is going to be performing an amazing cover of The Charlatans. Pete McKee, producer of this years Kendal Calling poster, might even stop by! With Kendal Calling taking a space theme this year, Astroclub has us especially excited, featuring 'other Tim Burgess'. We definitely won't miss that!
So join us, for what's definitely going to be a Totes Amazeballs weekend!
(Special thanks to Nick, for organising everything and being generally awesome, and to Tim for being awesome too)
Look out for this sign, if you see it you know fun lies just around the corner! :D
