The perfect day for our festival.. the bar is open and the sun is shining ☀️

Your lineup for tomorrow evening ladies and gentlefolk! Kicking off around 5pm and finishing at 12pm we have...

Marky G & The boys! - Classic numbers, a couple old timey choons to whet your whistle and soak in the sizzlin heat (we hope!) ☀️

Naked Rose - Not actually naked, but a rosey red bunch of originals and modern covers with this little poppy acoustic soulful duo.

Connor McDevitt - A man of many twists, turns, crescendos and excellendo tunes, we know talent when we see it and this man is not short of a sonic weapon or two. Colourful melodic pop with more soul than Hades' lair.

Hollie Hunt Music - A delicious delivery of delightful downtempo darn tasty audible snacks from our local singer/songwriter, found on the open mic circuit, delivered to DBB for your viewing pleasure. Acoustic duo covering and originaling.

Daryl Kellie Music - Do you know what instrumentalised classics crafted by the hands and mind of an acoustic guitar virtuoso sound like? Well don't worry because you're about to find out. DBB veteran and globally recognised talent, we are super grateful to have this wonderful musician back. Word on the street is it might even be part of Dazza's bday plans, but we're not yet sure if rumours are true...

Coasters aka 'The Muzz' - Get ready for a trip around the world of rock, punk and the musical nationalities in between. Local lands amping up the volume and delivering some bonza original big bad bangers at DBB approved temperatures. 3 piece, drumkit, loosen up your neck muscles and let them groove to these DBB debut dudes.

Gully - Ever seen an 8 piece funk band of silly talented musicians. Yeh neither have we. Probably not worth saying anymore at this point except you would be mental to miss it. Shout out to these legends for travelling down from Somerset to headline our event! We hope you remember your dancing shoes! 👠 👟 💃🕺🤙

And if you weren't already aware, we will have open mic with a guitar and microphone available for anyone that would like to grace the DBB stage from midday until 5ish when the acts kick off.

Weather looks good touch wood!

See ya there!

Big Love,

DBB Team

Can’t wait for this weekend’s Dubs Bands and Beer! It’s going to be epic!!
Can we remind you all to be self sufficient when you come? There are no food stalls here and no running water. We do have a communal BBQ plus a couple of barrels of water if you forget or can’t carry your own.
And bring a sun hat 🌞
See you there 😎

A reminder to please bring cash! We cannot accept card payments as there is no reliable mobile connection in the field. Thanks! See you there 😎

Hey all you DBB fans, first timers and other fabulous hooman beings! Yes DBB 2024 is on! 🤙

It’s been a while but what with Covid and all that jazz getting in the way we have been thwarted in our repeated attempts to make this happen. Anyway, this may be the last one, it may not, it all depends. So whether it is or not, let’s, like Shalamar once suggested, “make this a night to remember.” 💃🕺

Here is some basic info and a rough agenda📋:

Saturday 29th June
- Entry £15.00 each adult 👨👩
- 16’s and under £7.50 👦👧
- 10’s and under FREE
Tickets on the gate and include camping for Saturday night.
If you would like to come Friday as well when there is no entertainment just a peaceful night in a field then please add £10,00 each adult and £5.00 for the 16’s and under.

Saturday 29th June
- 12.00 Bar is open. 🍻
- 12.00 Open mic 🎤.
Bring yourself and your maracas to anyone who looks like they might have an idea of what is going on and we will give you the opportunity to propel yourself to international rock ‘n roll fame inside 10 minutes.

- 5.00pm - The main bands begin to play 🎶
- 12.00 midnight - The music stops and you amble your way back to your tent/camper and shout ‘bedtime!’ Instantly our team of specially scrubbed assistants will come tuck you in and read you a story.

You must be prepared to be self sufficient here. There is water, beer and cider but no food. We do have a communal BBQ so please bring your own meat selection and be sure to keep an eye on your sausages. 🌭

🚽 We have specially designed eco loos for all that are nominally girls or boys.
There are no showers but you can lick someone clean if you know them well and they have asked you politely.

A few rules...
The only vehicles allowed in the camping area are dedicated campers. You cannot sleep in your car in the camping area.

🐕 Dogs *MUST* be on leads or tethered the whole time they are on site. Plus, you know the rest.

Please take your rubbish home. 🗑️

Please do not play amplified music from your camper at any time especially not at full volume at 3.00 am. Everyone will hate you as well as your appalling taste in music. 🔇

And that’s it! Please enjoy yourselves and let your spirits and children run free. (But not your dogs)

Love ❤️

Dear All,
It is with a very heavy heart that we have to cancel Dubs Bands and Beer this weekend. We realise this is terribly short notice and is going to disappoint a lot of people as we were all working so hard to make it happen but we just cannot do it. The main reason is insurance. We find ourselves in a situation where we cannot satisfy the insurance company with the safety measures with have in place, particularly with regards to the electrical power supply. This same system has served us just fine for many years but it seems that, and I quote "since covid" the rules and regulations have tightened up 10 fold.
For us organisers, we simply cannot take the risk of some accident happening to one of our guests and then not being covered. Yes the possibility is small but the consequences could be huge and we have all worked too hard for our properties and families to put that at risk. We are all devastated and truly apologise to all of you who were looking forward to coming this weekend. I hope you can forgive us and can find something equally rewarding to do this weekend instead.
Yours truly

The DBB Team
