Kendal Calling

The first thing you should know about Kendal Calling is it isn't in Kendal. No, really. It isn't! It is however rather near to the lovely Lake District town of Penrith. Set in Lowther Deer park, this year saw capacity increase from 6,000 to 10,000. It was nice to see that the atmosphere from last year was still there. That, despite it's growth, it felt the same.

Uk gigs and festivals will be bringing the photos to you in parts (there's just so much to show you!) To whet your appetite here are some photos from the Calling Out tent, the biggest of the tented stages. Highlights were Leeds band Pulled Apart By Horses and Glasgow rockers Dananananaykroyd, who won the crowd over with free Red Bull, free Walkers crisps and free hugs!

Pop back in a few days for extensive main stage coverage as well as the fancy dress highlights and more words on why Kendal Calling is fast becoming our favourite English festival.
