Rocker Hawkins and band wow Moonfest fans at Westbury


Justin Hawkins and new band Hot Leg brought Moonfest to a successful close on Sunday night.

The former Darkness frontman had promised a spectacular entrance on to the stage and he didn't disappoint when he roared on riding a mini quad bike.

The 34-year-old, who is a friend of Moonfest organiser John Green, and his band belted out a succession of guitar-heavy numbers, accompanied by his trademark falsetto vocals and on-stage cavorting.

And what they may have lacked in subtlety they more than made up for with sheer enthusiasm.

A new addition to Hawkins' ensemble was a natty moustache. Sunday's festival, at Storridge Farm, near Westbury, attracted hundreds of music fan and passed off without incident.

Fantastic event. A triumph. Must say Hawkins was good, but the best BY FAR was KAVA KAVA who replaced the Pink Floyd covers show. I caught half the set. Outstanding talent. More!

This was a fabulous event, helped greatly with the ever efficient security staff who were at hand to help with any query. I thought they were a credit to both the event organisers and also their management team, whoever they may be. I will admit I was expecting 'old skool' security, bouncers if you will. I was pleasently surprised when I approached a bloke expecting this attitude and found a polite, well manner man who I have no doubt could handle his own if needed. An amazing team. And also an amazing night. Fab music, fab staff. I hope if this gets repeated the same bouncers are there!!
