Somersault Festival pretty much had it all: sun, surfing, great bands, a magical country setting and a crowd of big chillers. As well as taking in the great atmosphere, we hung out and chatted to our friends Half Moon Run, Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars and Surfers For Sewage. We’re totally down for Somersault 2015, so catch you there!
