Ingenious puts new investment into Rewind
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 19 January 2011
Entertainment industry investment firm Ingenious has announced it is making a new investment into the 80s Rewind Festival.
Ingenious is sinking a million into the nostalgic festival brand, enabling the launch of a second event in Scotland this year. The Scottish event will take place at Scone Palace in Perthshire in late July, while the original event will return in August in Henley. The Human League, Tony Hadley, Rick Astley, Kim Wilde, Bananarama, Hue & Cry and a reunited The Bluebells will all appear at the Scottish edition.
Confirming the investment, Ingenious director Paul Bedford told CMU: “The massive success of the Henley event has confirmed that further investment in the festival’s expansion is a positive move for our entertainment [funds]. This latest funding is just the first step in our plans to support the roll out of the Rewind brand internationally. There is already strong interest to launch the first 80s Rewind Festival in Holland and talks are also underway to take it to Australia”.
