Peggy Sue and Laura Marling added to Camp Bestival bill

19 February 2009
By Lynn Roberts

The organisers of Camp Bestival today announced that Laura Marling, Blue Roses and Peggy Sue would join the Dorset festival’s already stellar line-up. 

The folksters join acts like Bon Iver, PJ Harvey (no, she’s not folk, but since the female contingent of FFS is in love with her we couldn’t leave her out) and awesome-o new signing Marina and the Diamonds. West Country revellers can also expect comedy from the likes of Marcus Brigstocke and Phil Jupitus and poetry from Scroobius Pip. 

Camp Bestival takes place on 24th-26th July at Lulworth Castle in Dorset. For tickets and more information see the website.
