HIPSVILLE FESTIVAL, Bordon, Hants, 13-15th<\/sup> May<\/strong><\/p>\n

After three years as a mostly indoor event, this years\u2019 Hipsville festival was held in the open, essentially a cricket ground in the woods. Fortunately the sun shone, although the vibe might have been different had it rained all weekend. Small scale festivals have many advantages; they are always friendly, and it was a pleasure to walk straight up to the bar, food stalls or toilets without queuing.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s novel attraction was The Demon Drome, a \u201920s Wall Of Death. Saturday saw many spectacular stunts on vintage Indian motorcycles. In keeping with Hipsville traditions, Go-Go dancer Wanda De Lullabies premiered her “Cosmic Rider” burlesque at The Demon Drome, ably accompanied by US organ duo Archie & The Bunkers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
