ye 247 lol we were lookin for it aswell, great stuff

absolutly amazing! best fest ive been to by far, people were amazing.
most sureal thing was having about 10 differnt ravers mostly from other countrys come up to me & say i recognise your face, your the guy with the on the bangface site.
the fact guys in belgium & france knew my face & tattoo was crazy :D
everything was really grand, security were probably the best ive seen & really friendly to.

bring it all on again & again & again

Absolutely superb weekend. Highlight for me was the 247 chalet rave on Sunday night. The chalet was directly below mine and I knew the people in it. Small world innt?

SUMMER HAS OFFICIALLY ARRIVED WITH A BANG (FACE)!

BANGFACE CREW, WE LOVE YOU!! Saint acid and all the background staff, you really know how to throw a party. Never experienced anything like that before!

Definatly the best weekend if my life!!!

Saturday was possibly THE best day i have ever had. Altern8s set was unbelivable, the lazers were a show on there own, espes whilst trippin my baws off! Remarc, Bong-ra, Shitty, producer and cylob were also unreal!

Was my first bangface experience, and by the sounds of it we missed out on some shenanigans. Will have to keep our ears to the ground for the challet afterparties next year!

Hangin up the horn till next year unless Bangface comes to Bonny Scotland!! :thup:

I saw that. Scotch egg was in attendance for a bit as well,. Afterparty vibes rocked my socks off.


Did anyone do the obstacle course slightly the worse for wear??? I did it was one of the funnest (and scaryest) things I've ever done.

Best Festival Ever. Hilarious antics from beginning to end. Rediculously hot maybe but that made the big boxes pumping out air even more fun. I nearly creamed myself when I was randomly given a tip top at the end of Squarepusher too. Genius.

So much good music. There was literally never a time when there wasnt something good on.

Speaking of which...

So. much. fucking. rinsing. jungle!

Remarc, Venetian Snares, Luke Vibert.... oh my

And St Acid's set actually brought me back from the dead. Amens + balloon wall + filth = rocket powered neo-rave fuel.

Oh yes.

On Sunday night, my mate went a bit mad on the stuff so I ended up looking after him for hours... whilst watching him try to pull by wobbling towards a hot girl, trying to kiss her hand and saying "You're beautiful, I want your babies!" was entertaining enough he nearly went over a balcony until I pulled him back :unsure:

REspect to the horn militia for taking on the anti-horn patrol... couldnt believe the irony when they started nicking them all - theres a fucking horn on the flyer for crying out loud!

BIG wkend ppl, had myself an acid baptism :), still feeling the warmth, can't stop dancin

Big holler to the guys from bangface TV, especially Jonny is it? the guy who did a shout out confirming i survived my ketalized fall on new years at Park Royal - respect to your mates esp Sam who saved my life, love you guys

Cannot wait til June, why skip out May you bastards?

keep it up, without bangface everything would be so much less worthwhile.

AMAZING WEEKEND!! Was feeling it today at work but most definately worth it.

Managed to finally last the length of a remarc set, though, had i been there for all of chas and dave ,i doubt i would have done, never had so much cockney knees up fun before!! Also sending much love to the 353 crew - possibly the best rave of the weekend - serious oldschool vibes, other highlights were spongebob squarepusher pants, looking like a gormless twat in a lightup hat on bangface TV, vibert on saturday in the pub (ceephax's set after was rather shambolic though still rather entertaining), SHINRA's exclusive sunglass set on saturday in the queen vic was glorious and of course the wonderous victorian microrave that was Vexkiddy!!

To everyone i met and talked endless shit to - hope you all got home safe and sound and thank you for humouring me so patiently!

DAS HUND IST TEKNO!

Nice one James and the Crew absolutely stunning beyond comprehension!!

fat fat sick sick fucking amazing OMG im gonna be depressed til the next one.

bigups to all bangface hard crew that came and conquered camber sands, you were the vibe that kept me smiling all weekend. last but not least a big fucking hand for saint acid and all the other lovely people that worked so hard over the last year putting this weekend together and making it what it was - a rave to go down in history.

also bigup pontins, LOl! safe to security and OB who from my experiences were freindly, communicative and helpful (except for the fluro wanker raiding the after party in247 who went to hit someone but thankfully got dragged off by another plastic policeman)

HORNS & WHISTLES

bring on next year :wackyhat:



oh the bong ra alton towers-ish tune????
any ideas yet?
tah!

Hey Bangclarts,

What a party that was! Great to see that the awesome atmosphere we love so much about the club nights survived the expansion to fill a holiday camp. The pool party was a great idea (surely there's no better music than old skool hardcore and jungle for twisting and turning about in the water and bouncing about on inflatables to). Thanks to everyone who doodled on my shirt on Sunday with my pathetic little flourescent markers - I'm thinking of hanging onto it for the next BF as there's still a bit of white space left on it.

I'd write more, but I think it's time for some rest...
I've got feelings of anxiety, me.

I'm one of their crew, I'll pass on the word.

Massive shouts to all of the bangface tv people, why can't we have that channel all day every day? Big up to about 97% percent of the security for being safe, friendly and the laissez-faire attitude :cop: , and most of all St. Acid for putting it all together. Oh and the medics who sorted out our matey when he went into convulsions, you did an amazing job, he was absolutely fine and able to enjoy the rest of the festival.

Bring on next year... :panic:

Was that the guy called Daniel that was wearing a radiation suit? I'd be really pleased to hear that he's ok, as it looked really touch and go there for a while.

Bang Face Weekender!! What a way to celebrate my birthday?!! The people, the music, the venue, the organisation of the event, the little touches like the plane trailing the Bang Face Hard Crew message, the smiley face as a point of reference for the camp. The only thing that caused any annoyance at all were the queues to check out but I think that is probably standard at any Holiday Camp.

I loved being able to go over to the beach during the daytime too. Please, please, please do another weekender at Camber.

Well I had it on good authority thats hes fine now. Apprently they just left the cut open suit on the grass like some gruesome chalk line type thing. The people I met who witnessed it said they had to go and lie down for a couple of hours afterwards to get over it. Still alls well that ends well.

He was in the chalet above ours, apparently he wasnt trying to top himself, he just slashed himself on broken glass in a dangerous place according to security, wrong place wrong time, wrong drugs. He survived, but they emptied that chalet.

You can guarantee many a story about regretamine accidents matey...

I was watching the paramedics sittin bored off their asses as we all headed in for Sun night final rave, I thought they must be thinkin "Maybe we should say something to all these people now before they go to fuck themselves up?" Prevention rather than cure is always better - I learnt the hard way
