The August Bank Holiday weekend, as usual, played host to many festivals and musical events around the UK, not least the Camel Rock Festival held at Porthcressa on the Isles of Scilly.  But will it be the last?
Local bands included those formed at the Five Islands' School, the members of the Steamband under the temporary name Senile Shambles and the rhythm and blues band, Roadrunner.  Bands imported from mainland England included Murdoch, from Manchester.
The event, deemed 'unique' in the local press, raises money for local musical projects on the islands.  It's future is, as always, in doubt due to the amount of work for organisers and volunteers, especially for the clean-up operation.  Organiser Paul Lewis hopes that the event will return next year as long as there are still volunteers.
