Ed and I (Tina) have had the very important privilege of following vintage-goers, nosey-ing at stalls, and generally being rather inquisitive. On our travels around the Southbank Centre, it’s been our duty to catch all of the interesting sights and people on film.
We’ve met people who are here with causes; C20 are petitioning to save a fantastic piece of 70s architecture from destruction. We’ve met creative souls; Sophie who is running a ‘60’s style art school’, to gain awareness for her Brixton-based art youth-club. And we’ve met, of course, Vintage fanatics. We’ve seen them tearing up the dancefloor of the Soul Casino at mid-day (no dutch-courage required), and posing for a picture with their favourite records at Charity Shop DJ.
The retro-fun hasn’t been restrained to indoors. Out on the sunny Southbank we’ve been enjoying the Vintage Village; a mini high street formed of pop up market stalls, a fairground, and even a van to get your vintage-tattoos inside of!
This year’s emphasis, unlike last year’s Vintage, lies predominantly with culture and fashion. However, there is still plenty of live music here to feast your ears upon, with Heaven 17 later headlining the Revue.
We’re off to enjoy our Friday night at Vintage, with music and events continuing until the small hours…
Stay posted for our blog tomorrow to find out who we saw and what we rated! In the meantime, check out our film footage!
