#RockawayBeach (Live 1980)

Woman standing in the ocean as the waves come crashing in. Her arms are open in supplication, welcoming her old friend. Rocks in the midground and off the the side as waves crash off.

This week's #BlueSkyArtShow theme is #Flowing
Why go with the flow when you have your very own seawitch who can put in a request direct.
My better half, dipping into the Pacific #Ocean without a wetsuit. She does this often and I swear it was her idea.

I’m feeling a bit exhausted after a brilliant three days in Bognor for Rockaway Beach. Band photos are on my Instagram but big up to my pals (and our other cool friends not pictured) who who made it such a lot of fun #chopsgigs #rockawaybeach

Home from another superb #RockawayBeach festival. Great company, new and more familiar bands, with some crazy golf, silent disco and closing party dancing to round it all off 👏👏👏

#RockawayBeach Day 3

Midnight Mass w/ Moonlandingz - Love the music. Love that @acidklaus.bsky.social always puts on a top show. Didn't vibe with twixt song bants

Inspiral Carpets - Great. Perfect for a bleary Sunday afternoon

Silent Disco - Always good fun. Hush Boogie b4 riding into the sunset

Back … and in the office after an early start … but it was worth it #RockawayBeach

Coach Party on stage at Studio 36, Rockaway Beach, Sun 4th Jan 2026, brilliant performance, so much energy, one of the weekend’s highlights for me.

Ellur and band live on stage at Rockaway Beach, Sun 4th Jan 2026, “I’m all out of fucks” 👍

Baggio performing live on stage at Rockaway Beach, Sun 4th Jan 2026. Prize for most band members of the weekend, bonus points for lap steel and trumpet.

Today at #RockawayBeach - Baggio, The Members, Ellur, a tiny bit of Inspiral Carpets and the day’s highlight, Coach Party, magnificent. Also: a seaside stroll in the sun, excellent Sunday lunch at the Fox in Felpham, and booked RB2027 ✅

Really can’t recommend it enough! 😊

#LoveLiveMusic

Enjoyed chest, Blackgold and Coach Party today - halfway through English Teacher and I’m bored - they’re clearly accomplished musicians but I’m getting the same ‘so what’ feeling I got with Black Country New Road #RockawayBeach

More #RockawayBeach music. Dry Cleaning yesterday. English Teacher today. And some bingo and Lazer quest distractions.

Any good festival is about seeing bands you wouldn’t normally go and see and Blackgold were brilliant - and I didn’t even like Nu Metal the first time round … #RockawayBeach

#RockawayBeach 2026 - Day 2

Much, much better day. Fab, even.

Bruise Control - blasted away any cobwebs in our heads. Torn denim shorts and tats perfect look for a middsy opener. Loved 'em
Winter Gardens - draw a black veil all about these Eves
We hate you, please die - tres bon French punk. 🧷🧷🧷

View from our room at Butlins, Bognor Regis for #RockawayBeach - sun’s out, moorhens scuttling about on the grass, sea view and the spa is open!

Winter Gardens live at Rockaway Beach, 3rd Jan 2026. Great vocals and the guitarist was going mental.

A dreamy set from Whitelands at Rockaway Beach, 3rd Jan 2026, they seemed genuinely delighted to be there.

The bouncy and funky Home Counties at Rockaway Beach, 3rd Jan 2026, really enjoyed them - “Uptight” is just brilliant

Public Image Ltd live at Rockaway Beach, 3rd Jan 2026. Band were absolutely superb, the sound in Studio 36 is fantastic, and Lydon wasn’t too much of an arse, so that was good.

Another fine day at #RockawayBeach yesterday: Winter Gardens, Whitelands, Home Counties, Adult DVD, TV Smith, PiL, a bit of Insecure Men and the Moonlandingz, ending up with Chris Hawkins on the decks. Truly enjoyable, love this festival! Going to book for 2027 later today 😊

Behind the desk in Reds at #RockawayBeach where Chris Hawkins is on the decks. Hopefully the book next to the mixer is the Holy Bible of sound engineering?

My highlight of Rockaway Beach's second day was Dry Cleaning's set; a noodly, groovy, wig out of a thing, bedecked with bass, riffs & beats although, sadly, Flo's vocals were lost in the mix if you were too near the front. D'oh.. #RockawayBeach

Well I have to say I very much enjoyed old silly bollocks #RockawayBeach

Love Adult DVD - great to see them again - Shacklewell Arms in February #RockawayBeach

#RockawayBeach 2025 Day 1
Prima Queen - great energy. Good toons
Ellis D - alright
Mandrake Handshake - bit like a 6th form end of year concert
Volke Gentle - good songs w/over earnest vocals. Bloody brill drummer
Anthony Szmierek - lovely performance. Great fun

But no Silent Disco. Rossi DJs. 😢

First festival of the year. By order of fave so far. Prima Queen, Ellis-D, Mandrake Handshake, Soft Play #RockawayBeach

A monochrome photo of the band Soft Play, performing at the Studio 36 venue at Butlin's Bognor Regis resort, for Rockaway Beach 2026. The image shows a stage technician feeding microphone cable to singer Isaac Holman in the audience.

A fab jingly jangly set from Prima Queen, a sprinkling of indie rock from Idlewild & a raucous shaking off of any lingering new year's blues courtesy of the excellent Soft Play. There's still music afoot but I'm done for day 1; I did try with Voka Gentle but, no, not my bag.... #RockawayBeach

"Had a look at the free festivals
They're like cinemas with no films
You could make a fire with the seats
You could boil up some cigar (cig-ah!) dimps
Or get into the sound
Wait for the ice cream to come around."
