Rock & Blues short video clips of some of the Bands at Butlins Skegness http://www.butlins.com Annual January gig Fri 27th to Sun 29th Jan 2012 Filmed by trevor ridvidd http://www.youtube.com/user/7779trevor One of the hidden gems of the rock festival calendar, the Great British Rock & Blues Festival at Butlins Holiday Camp in Skegness has been running for almost twenty years now. Sold out every year on reputation alone, this is the perfect way to start off the year and to get you in the festival spirit for the summer ahead. Primarily aimed at the blues market there is enough on offer to keep your average Uber Rocker interested for a weekend away full of good music, friendly people, fantastic food and accommodation and bars aplenty. That's enough for me to return for my third year in succession.
