Music Festival • Saturday 5 May 2015
The Cosmic stage is run by Jamie and is located in the main hall at the youth camp. We try to put on as diverse a bunch of musicians as you are ever likely to see on one stage. MCd by the marvelous Ministry of Loud, the Cosmic stage runs from 7pm till very, very late.
Excellent showmanship, inch-perfect falsettos, soothing basslines, and a great set of songs like the tunes Ain’t Got No Money and Sharks at the Wheel prove that Stretch Soul Gang are one of the most promising acts in the East.

@ Cosmic Puffin 8 (2015):
The Majestic are a London based 5-piece band with a unique brand of roots-rock reggae delivered in a whacky visual sing-a-long style. The present lineup has been together since late 2010 but their roots spread much longer.
They play at a number of festivals including Cosmic Puffin, Boomtown Fair, Sheffield Tramlines, Penn, Summer Breeze and Summer Saturnalia to name a few. The season culminates with headlining the Zion Festival in Malta.
In the Autumn of 2014, a freak musical collision forced Ghosts Of Men to become but two.
This is the fallout; a truly massive guitar sound and huge groove laden drums mixed in with seductive vocals make for a musical experience that is at the same time as fresh and new as it is dirty and as old as time.
Dripping with funky, sleazy riffs and primal choruses, less in this case really does mean more.

Compere Phil Loud.
Unity Division is a lively fun silicone-free Rock-Punk-Folk-Ska band from south-east London, writing their own material blending raw, sensuously electrified acoustic energy!
Serena leads with an exciting vocal tone, brick-wall guitar and a visual feast of onstage mid-song costume changes.
Dru has a pure, sweet voice melding his haunting vocals with the dichotomy of angular rhythm guitar and a little thunderous bass noise.
Vince Cullen the drummer dishes out massive kicks and interesting beats.

PET NEEDS are four lads who through the nature of chaos all landed in Essex, wide-eyed, out of breath and ready to create something huge. With explosive live performances of fractured anthems, PET NEEDS are currently smashing sets throughout the East, screaming stories of chance meetings, self-destruction, perceived freedom, lampposts and woods.

Slim Pickings consists of 7-8 people who have little to no money, drawn together by their distinctly empty pockets and their collective love of reggae music and, soon enough, a band was formed. Sometimes something just feels right, this wasn’t one of those times but they did it anyway! Rehearsals were missed and debts were racked up, cables broke and pedals packed up, but despite all adversity Slim Pickings came out stronger than ever, with their own unique style of energetic feel good reggae they turn anywhere they can afford to get to into a party.
People have said things like ‘That was cool’ and ‘I loved it’ but it’s up to you to make your own decisions. Based in Leigh-On-Sea they take their influences from all over the reggae spectrum, from local legends like Dane Glasby, to Gentleman and The Skints. They are currently perfecting their set and taking any gig they can get. This is reggae as rootsy as it gets with a rap twist. Lee Perry would be proud.

The Penny Antics are a two piece Grunge/Punk band from Essex! We’ve been gigging around for just over a year now and are developing an ever-expanding fanbase. We have a 10 song album out at the moment and have comprised a setlist that spans over 30 minutes. We’re known for our unpredictable and energetic performances and play each set as though it were our last; in both practices and gigs!
