All the best moments from Rewind South
What an incredible weekend!
Last updated 9th Sep 2022
As we say goodbye to the wonderful Rewind Festival for another year, we're taking a look back at all the amazing things that happened over the weekend at Rewind South. The festival took place at Henley On Thames in Oxfordshire from 19th-21st August and was full of incredible performances from iconic 80s artists as well as lots of fun moments from around the venue.
We were busy at Rewind South, with Greatest Hits Radio presenters Jenny Powell, Des Paul, Martin Kemp and Pat Sharp all at the festival; interviewing artists, introducing the performers and getting to know the festival-goers around the venue.
Take a look through our favourite moments from Rewind South.
Jenny Powell at Rewind South
Jenny got into the festival spirit with a behind-the-scenes video early on Saturday, sharing her excitement for all the acts, interviews, and fun that were to come.
While at Rewind South, Jenny answered some listener's questions on Greatest Hits Radio's Instagram Stories and revealed that she was most excited to see Belinda Carlisle perform. She said: "I am self-combusting to see Belinda Carlisle I have to say.
"I mean, back in the day she was the woman that wrote, she sang, she actually formed one of the greatest girl bands of all time over 40 years ago."
She also shared that her favourite 80s artist that she had ever met was Kylie Minogue. Describing the singer, Jenny said she was: "So gracious, so lovely, the most beautiful smile."
Reflecting on meeting Kylie, she added: "I took my dog into the studio to interview her and he did a poo outside their dressing room, and she was ok about it!"
While chatting to folks around the arena, Jenny was very impressed with a unique Rubik's Cube jacket which is full of 80s celebrities' signatures! Of course, she added her own autograph to it, right next to Wet Wet Wet.
Jenny caught up with Blancmange's Neil Arthur
Blancmange singer Neil Arthur got chatting to Jenny Powell backstage and revealed what happens when he forgets the words on stage.

Pat and Jenny caught up while at Rewind Festival
After years of not seeing each other, Pat Sharp and Jenny Powell took some time to reminisce while backstage in the Greatest Hits Radio tent. With some name mix-ups, milestone celebrations, and confessions, it was quite the catch-up!
Jenny got to know some of the festival-goers
While out and about around the arena Jenny bumped into some interesting characters, from unicorns to cavewomen...
Elton John, is that you?
We spotted this absolutely brilliant Elton John costume (and performance) while walking around the arena and just had to get a video.
The Flintstones at Rewind South
Another unbelievable costume at the festival was The Flintstones; which included Fred and Wilma Flintstone, Barney and Betty Rubble, and even a homemade Flintmobile!
Des Paul had to stop the group to chat about their amazing set-up.
Rocking at Rewind Festival
There's always time for a bit of Queen's 'We Will Rock You' so we got the crowd involved and clapping along to the classic tune.

The line-up for Rewind South was amazing, with the likes of Kim Wilde, Heather Small, Holly Johnson, Blancmange, and Tom Bailey taking to the stage.
