Well things are definitely beginning to thaw out now, and to get you thoroughly in the camping and show scene mood, we look back over three shows from last season, from the Southwest to Wales and over to Kent, before heading in a northerly direction to the official UK season opener in Staffs, and find a very warm reception at Dubfreeze.
And talking of shows, we have a mini preview on the upcoming DubAid all charity VW event, when we meet one of the organisers and all round party central instigator, Chris ‘Funkmaster Red’ Redford, when we catch up to talk VW scene, tattoos, Baywindow buses and old American metalwork! Oh, and you can find the dates for DubAid and a whole lot more, in our Events Listing pages on pg 10 and 11 (note we’ve split them by UK vs. Euro shows for quick ref’)… personally this year, we’re especially looking forward to the VW Vibe sponsored Cruise To the Prom in May… it’s gonna’ be epic!
BRISTOL VOLKSFEST
We take a fond retrospective looking back at one of last season’s real belters, Bristol Volksfest! From small beginnings this key dub show has grown to epic proportions!
GRILL ‘N’ CHILL
Grill-n-Chill in Kent is aimed at both air and water-cooled Volkswagens and also welcomes anything old-skool, classic, custom or retro.
DUBS AT THE CASTLE
Dubs at the Castle runs at one of the coolest locations of any dub show… at an actual castle; a great setting for this well-chilled dub weekender.
DUBFREEZE
DubFreeze is held at Bingley Hall near Stafford. One of the best established in the UK, the show is now in its 26th year and is a brilliant starter to the UK show season.
