Vintage at Goodwood 2010
Posted on 3:55 AM by follow me
The moment has arrived vintage guys and dolls...tickets go on sale today for the first vintage festival to combine music, fashion, design and retail in a glamorous celebration of 5 decades of British cool. Running from the 13th to the 15th August in the glorious surroundings of the Goodwood Estate, and featuring the first performance by Sandie Shaw in over 20 years and the launch of Lily Allen’s new fashion label Lucy in Disguise, Goodwood (& Wayne Hemmingway) gives us: “Vintage at Goodwood”. (-that was my very own Steve Jobs moment).
Complementing the amazing musical line up on the main stage will be five on site clubs recreating each respective decade with unparalleled authenticity by Vintage at Goodwood’s curator team and all unlike anything previously witnessed at a vintage event or festival.
The Torch Club - a specially-constructed 40’s style nightclub with a proper dancefloor, stage and restaurant. Learn the dance steps at lunchtime, tea dance the afternoon away to the John Miller Orchestra (yes that’s Glen Miller’s son) and take in some cheeky burlesque in the evening.
Let It Rock - 1950s British Rock and Roll culture and lifestyle. Think Wanda, Imelda, Matchbox, The Damned, The Rezillos and many many more.
The Leisure Dome – Devised and directed by Mike Flowers the dome will be home for Easy Listening and Light Pop. Think Lounge music.
The Soul Casino Nightclub –a two room venue replicating a mid 1970’s Mecca Ballroom with a sprung wooden dancefloor, the Soul Casino takes influences from celebrated soul club classics. The Soul Casino will have you dancing till the wee hours.
The Warehouse & Roller Disco – will trace some of the legendary UK 'Disco' club nights, covering everything from 70s Funk and Disco, through early 80s Electro, Boogie, Rare Groove and onto early Rave and Acid House, played out in a fully recreated industrial warehouse and adjacent Roller Disco.
But Vintage at Goodwood will offer festival enthusiasts much more than music alone. The Vintage High Street, with the attention to detail of a film set will feature Waitrose, (I AM IN). John Lewis and a series of “pop up” shops from the likes of The Body Shop, Barbour and even a recreation of Oxfams first shop from 1947. Amongst other renowned brands and shops from the past and present there will be salons that will style hair in vintage fashions fit for your club of choice. Also on the High St, vintage lovers can spend hours in The Vintage Marketplace, the largest and finest gathering of the world’s vintage clothes sellers ever assembled.
The Vintage High Street will be a place to shop and promenade; people can watch and enjoy the surreal experience of authentic cafes in the middle of the South Downs National Park. Rather than traditional festival fayre, restaurants will serve quality food inspired by the decade, and as opposed to a limited selection of mediocre drinks a broad variety will be stocked including Reserve Brands such as Tanqueray, Ketel One and Johnny Walker.
Nestled in the South Downs, overlooking the Sussex coast, Vintage at Goodwood will offer “posh” woodland camping unlike any other festival both in setting and style. Distinguishing Vintage from other festivals will be the unprecedented levels of luxury accommodation and facilities available. Be it under beautiful bricks and mortar in the Goodwood Hotel, specially-constructed glamorous camping in the secluded glades, or bedding down in vintage caravans, customized Vintage pod pads, or one’s own tent, all attending will have the opportunity to dress up and not be compromised on comfort.
