Rally RETROFESTIVAL NEWBURY AUGUST 2017 (3 Viewers)

[Landy lover]

Didn't have any problem with mine I think I used Foxit PDF reader, I find it a bit easier for form filling than Adobe.

Thats the one most use these days but think it only works on Windows

 

[Wombles]

@Silver-Fox hope you've got sorted now?

Here's some more acts to hopefully tempt others to come along or to help those already going to pick which ones they want to see!
The Fliks
"The band’s philosophy is simple, what would The Supremes or The Shangri-las have sounded like if they were backed by a British 60s cavern style R & B band? The outcome of this blend has sparked a stylized often unique high energy show."

 

[Wombles]

"The Crooked 4th invite you to accompany them on a retrospectively indulgent musical journey that starts way back where it all really began. From that first deep and almost forbidden breath of warm and intoxicating air that shimmy’s dangerously up the stairs towards you, from deep within some dark and promising, late night dance club. That Club where Jazz rubs it’s broad shoulders with US Import R&B and the sounds of Jimmy Smith, Mose Allison and Bobby Parker sit tight and upright alongside new pretenders like The Mike Cotton Sound, Georgie Fame and Zoot Money. Where every night might just offer something new to See, Hear and Experience. Dance, Listen, Pose or just be with us in your own way as we grind through the gears and the years that shaped popular culture and ultimately spill headlong into the halcyon days of British Pop Music in a whirl of Hammond organ, masterful guitar and driving rhythm."

"A high energy live tribute to the classic artists of the Mod and Ska era and the Mod/Ska revival.
In 3 short years The Ska Faces have forged a reputation as a formidable live act not afraid to play songs that most bands shy away from, Love Reign O’er Me and Won’t Get Fooled Again are classic examples! This is a band you must see live as their musicianship and energy shine through leaving audiences stunned, entertained and shouting for more."

 

[Wombles]

The Highwasters "a 3 piece from Reading, take their inspiration and material from their childhood heroes. Expect to hear tunes by The Kinks, The Who, The Small Faces and other Power-Pop classics from the ’70s."

 

[Wombles]

"The Jake Leg Jug Band bring you the authentic sounds of 1920’s and 30’s America – Jazz, Blues, Gospel, Ragtime – and put their own twist on it. Songs of murder, betrayal, gambling, liquor and redemption. Signed to one of the UK’s most prestigious labels ‘Fellside Recordings‘ they record their albums as part of the ‘Vintage Recording Project’ essentially recording all live around ribbon microphones, as it would have been back in the 1930’s."

"The Bowkers are a leading vocal harmony family group who have appeared on BBC 1. With Justine and her brothers Lukas and Max together with their father Jason. They are extremely versatile and will transport you back to the golden era of swing with their classic vocals and harmonies, slick fashion and quick wit. Or to the Royal Opera House and the West End theatres with their renditions of popular show tunes and arias. And for those who want to let their hair down and dance all night they will perform songs from the more upbeat eras of rock ‘n’ roll, soul and motown."



If one of the singers looks familiar you might have seen him here as he's also a talented actor as well as a great singer!

 

[Wombles]

"Fiona Paige has been known as ‘The Sweetheart of the John Miller Orchestra’ for many years. She has appeared with them all over the world – from Scandinavia to China, with many UK tours in theatres including The Albert Hall and The Palladium as well as festivals such as Twinwood and War and Peace.
While also pursuing a solo career on cruise ships and cabarets and special guesting with other Big bands inc The Glenn Miller Memorial Orchestra – paying homage to Frank and Ella. She brings her experience to her ‘Little Big Band’ trio, Fiona Paige and The Paige Boys."

 

[Wombles]

"The Rock’A’Toons are five rocking guys performing a wide selection of 50s rock ‘n’ roll, jive, rockabilly & strollers. A lively band of experienced musicians made up of vocals, double bass, drums, guitar and saxophone, the Rock’A’Toons will have you up dancing, singing along or tapping your feet. Either way, you can’t help but get carried away with the distinctive 50s sound."

"Richie and the Rockets was only formed in October 2016. The new band was looking to change the style of music that it had been playing. There first gig in December 2016 was a complete sell out and a numerous amount of bookings followed for 2017. With years of experience behind them new band Richie and the Rockets have formed to produce a fantastic Jump Jive Harmony Band to make them one of the hottest new bands on the current rock n roll circuit."

 

[Wombles]

"Rockin’ em are an exciting 3 piece 50’s style Rock ‘n’ Roll band guaranteed to stir up nostalgic memories of the 50’s even if you are not old enough to remember that far back! These guys will have you jiving and bopping and having a ball with great authentic sounds of Rock ‘n’ Roll. They play anything from Rock ‘n’ Roll classics to beautiful ballads."

 

[Wombles]

To summarize - there's lots of great live music, dancing, interesting stalls & vehicles to wander around, food & drink to try, plus loads of Funsters & members of RVOC for company so no chance to get bored! The booking form is on page one of this thread - not only do we get a central camping location but at a reduced rate & with the option of EHU If you can't make these dates then have a look at Retro Newark http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/retrofestival-newark-june-2017.148941/ which has a different line up so maybe even consider booking both?!

These guys will have you jiving and bopping and having a ball

I hope we are going to see you on the floor this year, Funsters dancing were a bit thin on the ground last year, never saw anyone else apart from Mijhan and me dancing .

[Silver-Fox]

@Wombles yep im all sorted now thanks.

Forms filled etc payment sent etc and Ive just ordered some decent weather

 

[Wombles]

If you can't make Retro Newbury (this one) in August then last call for Retro Newark in June now here http://www.motorhomefun.co.uk/forum/threads/retrofestival-newark-june-2017.148941/#post-2262571 if you can do it all electronically?!
Know that with similar location names it easy to mix up the two different Retrofestivals so please make sure you use the right booking form. Still plenty of time to post your booking form for Newbury Retrofestival in August

@Wombles

Forms filled etc payment sent etc and Ive just ordered some decent weather

I'll hold you to that, wet dance floors with raw leather soles are lethal.

[Landy lover]

Yes indeed - camping and full access to the show for singles is £69.00

 

[Wombles]

Yes indeed - camping and full access to the show for singles is £69.00

Great deal thank you to @Landy lover Adult single weekend tickets with camping are currently £105 on the Retrofestival website! Also the option of EHU at £30 if needed.
The RVOC/Fun camping area is much better, being more central & spacious, than the general camping fields. Ideal for singles, couples & families
Great for Newbies too if you might like to try this one as your first rally as you will be assured of a warm welcome & plenty of help or advice if you need it.

 

[scottie]

Thanks Landy Lover and Karen. Paperwork in the post tomorrow morning
