Once a year the hippest happninest inhabitants of south east London get in their cars and decamp to east Sussex, near Bodiam Castle for Hope festival. We’ve played there for 8 years in a row now and it is a very special weekend for all concerned. This year Bruise were asked to open the festival in the Piano Bar and frankly we felt like we were back in Glastonbury with the mud and the mayhem. It was a total luxury, Maxine had given us the stage for the whole evening, we played for 3 hours, the Ukelele made it’s first festival appearance, Jim warmed the place up with his piano tuning skills. We were surrounded by friendly faces, glasses were raised, I didn’t pay for a drink the whole evening, those people know how to make you feel at home alright. Unfortunately we had to head straight back to London so there was no jolly camping for us but with talent like The Cosmic Sausages and Glen Tilbrook lined up for the rest of the festival you could bet your last £30 that that weekend was a BLAST!
