Rewind Festival 2013 – Playlist

Around this time last year, we visited Rewind Festival to celebrate the stag do of my great pal Jarrod.  A fine crew of chaps were assembled for a weekend of much hilarity and fabulous entertainment.

Set in Henley-on-Thames, Rewind festival offered a feast of musical acts from the 1980’s.

Some of the gang are returning this year, unfortunately I can’t make it due to family commitments.  Never the less, in honour of our 2013 adventure – and as a “bon voyage” to my comrades for this year – I’ve compiled the following playlist.

To compile this playlist, the acts had to have performed over the festival weekend last year.  They also have to actually be in my music collection, in iTunes.  I was quite surprised that there were several acts who performed that I don’t actually possess any recordings of.  No matter – this list consists of what I actually own.

1. Doctor & the Medics – “Spirit in the Sky”
2. The Sugarhill Gang – “Rapper’s Delight”
3. Billy Ocean – “Love Really Hurts Without You”
4. Nik Kershaw – “Wouldn’t it be Good”
5. Heaven 17 – “Temptation”
6. Kim Wilde – “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”
7. The B-52’s – “Roam”
8. Belinda Carlisle – “We Want the Same Thing”
9. Go West – “We Close Our Eyes”
10. ABC – “The Look of Love”
11. Pointer Sisters – “Jump (For My Love)”

Short but sweet.

A big shout out to Jaz, Gol, Tone, Baz, Adam, Si, Brendan and of course the one and only Richard Minshull esq.  What a top quality bunch!

And to those of you going this year – hope you have an amazing time!
