REWIND Festival returned to Temple Island Meadows, Remenham, to bring back the best of the decades past last weekend.

The event saw giants of popular music such as UB40, ABC, Go West, China Crisis, and Tony Hadley take to the stage in a weekend of vintage throw-backs and nostalgic classics.

Pat Sharp presented Saturday’s acts, which kicked off with Disco Inferno, The South, and Heatwave before The Art of Noise performed a visual-DJ set.

Martin Kemp also performed a DJ set, with Nik Kershaw, ABC, and UB40 giving sunset-splashed sets ahead of Erasure’s Andy Bell, who closed the stage for the day.

The Doctor brought Red Box, Brother Beyond, and China Crisis to Sunday’s attendees, followed by The Farm and Toyah.

Big Country and Heaven 17 were next up before Go West brought classics such as “Call Me,” and Marc Almond and Tony Hadley performed.
