While working recently at the Americana show at the Newark showground i purchased some copies of Milkcow magazine from a vintage clothing retailer.
I was impressed by its smart design format, the articles and how it showed that this scene is growing in the UK. There are some very stylish vendors of all things vintage in the magazine including clothes, jewellery, cars, bikes, music weekenders and tattoos. Burlesque is quite important in this scene with lots of pics of stylish femmes and the club nights springing up across the UK. We worked with the Scantily Clad burlesque girls at Glastonbury in 2009 when providing tents to the Rabbit Hole. We have noticed how popular our vintage army tents have been over the last few years, with 40’s theme events been a popular choice. See our gallery for pics of a 200 people event last summer.
Check out the Milkcow website, or even better the magazine, for some interesting articles on the music, clothes and fab retailers important to this vintage scene. With the Vintage Festival about to launch this summer it seems the time is ripe for nostalgia, fashion and fun mixing together at events. While wandering around Secret Garden last week there were certainly lots of fancy dress outfits featuring vintage clothes as well as retailers like PrettyRubbish selling clothing to meet this demand.

Over The Moon crew provided the tents, sound and lighting for the Festival Tails area at this years Secret Garden Party. The festival had 25,000 people in attendance (10,000 more than last year) and the large growth didn’t harm its boutique credentials. There were still a plethora of canvas unusual tents including lost of yurts, military marquees and Intents (Chai Wallahs had a fab set up again).

We took down a 6×8m Intent and a 6×6m military tent joining the two together to make a welcoming cave like dance pad for the selling of Festival Tails and to make a venue in the evening.

The atmosphere at the event was great , some lovely people were met and lots of people came and chatted over the course of the weekend. The weather played its part and the sun warmed the place, the occasional cloud kept it bearable and the rain stayed away.

2 weeks of fabulous weather made for a great time at Glastonbury Festival’s 40th birthday. Intents stretch look was a big part of the Glade area’s visual appeal with three chino stretchies creating a lovely space around the seating area. This made for a much better area than last years which, with no seating area, became a muddy walk through to the Other stage.
Glade Lounge with Intent 25x14m, Glastonbury 2010
On Thursday night only having a few areas open the Glade area was rammed with 3000 people in a football pitch sized area. It was madness , scarey and fun. The Intent survived one reveller climbing to the top of the main pole and swinging about til removed by security. People were keen to party and release the pent up emotion.
