HYTHE ROCKED! Hythe rocked when Hythe Pier Heritage Association (HPHA) staged its Rock the Pier musical festival on Saturday 15th June. From the moment the Stone Branches opened the proceedings, the large crowd of music lovers, not deterred by the constant threat of rain, was treated to a continuous, pulsating wall of sound until the Soul Catchers brought the show to a close almost seven hours later. Will Faulkner, sailing past Hythe aboard the S.S. Shieldhall posted on social media, “Sailed past on Shieldhall, we could hear the music out in the channel! Sounded like an absolute blast”. Other local bands, which all gave their time for free contributing to the “absolute blast”, were the Vinyl Beats, Davy Jones Locker, Mike and the Mojitos, REMBrandt and the Psychedelic Skies. e show was compered by the energetic duo of Byron Witchell and 2015 e Voice nalist Rozzy Turner. First staged in 2018, the free event held on the promenade behind Hythe’s historic High Street has raised increasing levels of donation funding towards HPHA’s restoration programme for the Victorian Hythe Pier and its iconic railway. It is too early to realise a nal gure for this year’s event but it is hoped to equal or better the record set in 2023. Hythe Pier Heritage Association would like to acknowledge the contribution of all the musicians and event volunteers who gave their time for free. A big thank you too is afforded to the sponsors, the Scratch Project, Blue Sky Windows, the Lord Nelson, Red Funnel, Badminstons of Hythe, PC Building Supplies, TMT Legal Services, Jack Rabbits, I Am Group, PRS for Music, Zillwoods Signs, Philpotts Fish & Chips, Bailey and Waterside EMS Ltd.
