Beach Break 2010

I went to Beach Break Live festival down in Pembrey to report for Cooler a couple of weeks ago.

Sun dipping low in the soft evening sky down in Pembrey

The sun burned bright in the mottled Welsh sky as we rolled through the bottom of Wales with bare feet and sunglasses at the ready, through the majesty of the looming Brecon Beacons, awash in luminous greens and wayward lambs, Tumble and Upper Tumble, Trimsaran and Kidwelly, where pebbled-dashed houses surround solitary fish and chip shops.

In the distance the glinting afternoon sun picks out Pembrey Country Park. The entrance is stern, framed by grey bricks and metal fencing – the start line to the luscious innards it is there to protect. The festival site is small and neat, collected in a tiny pocket of the park, respectful of its beauty.

A whole world is tucked into two fields, trimmed with watering holes and fairground rides. Gaggles of people sway from place to place, crumpling into piles in front of the main stage, straight from the beach. Pints in hand, jumpers on and ready to fade into the evening….”

If you would like to read the rest of the review then it can be found on the Cooler website.
