American does still have summer camps, and I hear it's quite hot over there right now. I almost signed up for Camp America when I was 19, but they had a clause where if you fall ill you have to pay your own way home and then repay them any money they had spent on your travel board and lodging, so not having much money I decided not to take the risk.
This chart keeps coming up with good songs by artists which I probably wouldn't hear about otherwise. I think Phil should get a name that stands out more. He has serious potential.

Number One is that old classic from Allan Sherman. Do they still have summer camps in the USA? It's a great piece of humour and very seasonal.
The Castillo Kids are highest new entry at 6. I've come across them on Youtube. Some of their covers are a tad cringe-worthy, but they usually hit the right note with Latino numbers. This one is an original and I particularly love their guitar work. This shows the best side of the Castillos and fits in well with the current sunny climate.
Phil from Germany at 14 has a quality song which I think deserves a large audience.
Billy Irvine's song at 17 reminds me of those late 60s early 70s pop rock numbers which used to send a tingle through my young body. Cool stuff.
The Talent at 19 rise just a touch above other Indie bands. I like the song. It has a slight quirky feel, rather akin to the Bare Naked Ladies.
