    Uh, the announcement come a bit too late for getting the 10% discount. I’ve not been there before, though. I wonder what it’s like? Telling from the Butlins website that’s a children’s and family resort, it appears. Is this particular event targeted at that same audience or will it be more “adult”?

  2. John says:

    We went last year and it was great.. xxx
    Ps all invited to the helen & boydy madness wedding in camden town hall august 18th at 11 am DONT BE LATE.

  19. phil says:

    went last year and apart from madness,the comedy and darts it wasn’t that good to be honest, most of the other acts id never heard of and when listening to them i don’t want to hear them again,wanting to go again this year mainly to see madness but other half isn’t so keen due to last years line up,will the funfair be open this year? heard loads of complaints about it being closed last year,i remember one person saying, its called the house of fun and the fun fair is closed, lol

  20. phil says:

    managed to convince other half to go again this year so i hope the acts are better, i think it would be a good idea to have the go karts open and to have races with madness, that would be a right laugh. (better than swimming in the sea like last year).

  21. steve says:

    all booked had a great time last year cant wait till nov this year

  22. jason peters says:

    All booked..Is it true that Madness are playing the three nights and when is the list of people who are playing their coming out…Its a wonderful venue and adults only its pure Madness

  23. colin says:

    Hope Madness are playing all three nights.Maybe they could play One Step Beyond or Absolutely in their full glory.I have got to agree with Phil about the poor selection of acts last year.How about asking bands such as The Ordinary boys,The Rifles,Kaiser Chiefs,The Selecter,The Automatic or Shed Seven.Im sure if the mighty MADNESS ask them ,they could come to some arrangement.Could you PLEASE try to get TIM VINE on the comedy stage as he is the funniest comedian out there.See you there.Goodnight.

  24. BG says:

    Any news on who else is appearing yet?

  25. Luke Thorpe says:

    Any chance of my band Sounds of Harlowe applying to play? Definitely think we’d go down well! We’re well brassy ;) Regards

  26. Julie Irwin says:

  27. Mike & Gail (the jugglers) says:

    We were there last year and it was ace fantastic atmosphere (great fancy dress every night), coming back this year with hashing freinds.
    Hopefully more SKA & Reggae this year please, lots of rave stuff last year, the Nutty boys were fantastic. Hopefully they will do two sets at least this year.
    We missed the Silent Disco so I hope they have another one this year.
    The 10 hours of stand up comedy was first class last year, hopefully the pictures will be open more hours than last year as well.
    Looking forward to it already, Mike & Gail
    PS
    We were the jugglers hanging about juggling in the discos etc, come over this year and have a go.
    Hopefully more jugglers there this year, bring your juggling clubs/balls etc :-)

    Im very dissapointed with the line up for this year.I cant beleive its even worse than last year.I thought there may have been a lot more effort made to get a few more established acts on the bill.Hoping there is going to be a few surprises.Fingers crossed.
