Late afternoon saw Johnny Adams come
back to the mic and facilitated the tattoo
competition, which becameacomedy
spectacular.AsJohnny explained, the
spirit of the competition wasn’t all about
how good the tattoos were, it was also
about how well they were delivered.With
overadozen contestants lined up, each
contestant enthusiastically explained their
tattoos to Johnny,which left them wide
open to the wrath of his individual style of
feedback. Having got the numbers
whittled down to the final two, the winner
was decided by the crowd’s‘cheerometer’
and the title went to Renee from
Melton Mowbray.
Evening fun
The drinking competition kicked the
evening off at 6pm, and shortly after ‘No
Lip’ came back on stage for another set.
They closed it with The Clash’s‘White
Riot’ before ‘Madhouse’ set up in the
marquee, whilst rally-goers listened to
scooter tracks on theP. A. ‘Madhouse’ then
opened with ‘Milk and Alcohol’ and during
the performance their front man, Billy
Riot, entertained the crowd with his own
style of psychobilly lunacy,which got
everyone engaged and immersed in the
infectious performance.
When ‘Madhouse’ closed, scooter tracks
continued, and just after 9pm headline
band, ‘The LongTa ll Te xans’, took to the
stage, taking the crowd to the next level.
When ‘The LongTa ll Te xans’ finished the
entertainment continued withalate-night
disco, which went on into the early hours
and closed with Chicago House.
Saturday was an amazing day,delivering
non-stop entertainment, sun, laughter,
scooters and frolics. The mixture of punk,
psychobilly and the ‘Summer of Love’
theme was crazy but endearing, and it
worked. That is what Animal Antics Rallies
are all about: enjoying yourself, taking
part and having fun!
