It’s been 4 years since Rewind kicked off at Henley, Rewind Festival is set beside the beautiful Thames River, Darren and I were yet again covering this amazing festival as their official photographers, we have a few favourite festivals that we photograph each year which are our firm favourites but Rewind festival pulls on the heart strings the most with a chance to soak up the ambience of the 80’s era, revisit our youth and experience non stop party revelry! This weekend deserves a top spot in the festival rankings, Rewind boasts a sell out line up year on year, this season was no exception. The sun shone fiercely over the whole weekend but the vibe did not wilt in the heat, neon colours were en mass within the crowd, the stars on the stage, the blue sky above, everything seemed perfect and for a while there was a fleeting recollection of the people and places from my youth. Puttyfoot favourites? There were the icons such as Jimmy Somerville, Marc Almond, Rick Astley, Adam Ant and OMD but a couple of other favourites were T Pau, Heather Small, John Parr, Grandmaster Flash, The Christians and The Straits stood out and performed a fantastic show, all the acts were memorable and along with an amazing audience this was a feast, 3 full days of 80’s iconic indulgence. Who is the festival for? From kids to grandparents and everyone in between, people who want to dress up and let their hair down, although this is a party zone, it is also a safe festival, and feels child/family friendly, well it’s for people of all ages looking for a fun 80’s driven weekend.
