Los Albertos on Liberation Day

Guernsey's busy musical summer started with the celebration of the island's Liberation. All three of the piers in St Peter Port featured live music from Brighton's Los Albertos rubbing shoulders with The Risk on the Vale Earth Fair stage on the Albert Pier to the swing music and sea shanties on the North Beach.

As June drew to a close the Greenman Motorcycle club took over Pleinmont for the the fifth year in a row for their annual Chaos Weekend music festival and bike show. Headlined by local power metallers Nemesis the weekend was the biggest yet with many camping on site and live music across three stages.

As the summer rolled on so did the Vale Earth Fair Collective's fund raising drive as Chateau De Marais saw Chateau De Sound take place for a second year. Headlined by UK band Wobbly Squadron the day also saw performances from Jersey's Benny The Moth and Guernsey's own About An Hour amongst many others.

The festival season was drawn to a close over the bank holiday weekend at the end of August with Guernsey's longest running and biggest music festival the Vale Earth Fair. More than 4000 people turned out to the Vale Castle for a days entertainment across seven stages featuring more than 70 acts including Skindred, Dub Pistols and Red Snapper headlining the main stage while local acts like Brutus Stonefist and Elmer Henley got the Earth Stage moshing.
