Teddy Rocks!

Hi guys!
So today I decided I'd blog. What about? Teddy Rocks 2016!

Over the may bank holiday, I have been at Teddy Rocks. Teddy Rocks is a charity festival in aid of Ted Newton. It is all about beating childrens cancer with rock. Ted Newton is a cancer victim who died in 2010 at the age of eleven. Since then, his family set up a charity called Teddy 20 and began Teddy Rocks in 2012.

This year it has really grown, what with taking place on the flood grounds of my town and The Hoosiers playing on Friday 29th April. The Hoosiers are a famous band who wrote the song 'Goodbye Mr A'.

Along with many other bands, Teddy Rocks was a really great experience.

Friday: Teddy Rocks began and I saw The Hoosiers. I was even at the barriers for 2/3 of it. Then, like you do, I needed the loo so my dad took me and we were at the back. Nevertheless, For the last few songs (including Goodbye Mr A) I was propped on my dad's shoulders boogie-ing away. (sorry for the back ache the next day, dad)

Saturday: saw a few local bands, nothing special. Don Broco performed that night but I didn't go down to see it.

Sunday: I went down in the evening and saw loads of reggae and ska bands which were very good. That night saw Gentlemens Dub who also were a reggae band.

Monday: went down at one o'clock and rocked out till five. Saw some bands and took a good interest to the acoustic stage.


So. That was my jam-packed weekend at Teddy Rocks! I will leave the headliners twitters and Teddy Rocks' website.

Tell me what you think in the comments below.

Love,
Scarlett xx

PS: SATs start on monday! Nervous!




BTW: Teddy Rocks almost raised £43,000 this year! WOOOOO!
