In Photos special: The Great Escape 2008
In Photos special: The Great Escape 2008
festivals by DiS Festivals May 20th, 2008

DiS didn’t just have a crack team of pen-brandishing scribes on the loose in Brighton for this year’s The Great Escape (May 15-17), oh no; additionally, super-shooter Holly Erskine was on hand to capture the action as it happened via her zoom-in, zoom-out lens.

Words, are forthcoming; meantime, do enjoy another In Photos special, beaming images of so very many TGE-present bands into your eyeholes.

All photographs: Holly Erskine
