Mischief at Serenata Festival in beautiful Kimmeridge, Dorset.

Our last gig of the Summer took us to the Pleasance Kid Zone at Serenata Festival in Dorset.

Let the children be seen and heard!

With the Big Hat band who accompanied our mischief makers on the march,  New Orleans style.

Thanks so much to Candida and Ant at the Pleasance for all their support and belief.

The Makerettes hit the Big Chill 2010

The Mischief Makers returned to The Big Chill Festival this Summer with a team of glamourous Makerettes and one Makeretto (thanks Jimmy).   This year we rocked the Words in Motion Tent with pupils from the John Masefield School who joined us on our march and played a gig at the after march rally.

Pupils from John Masefield School playing in their band ‘Fozwan and the Superior Siblings’.

A Big Thank you to Victoria, Lindsay, Nicky D, Tanya and Maya, Rachael, Christine and Jimmy.

Our tent at the start of the weekend.

Pack up your troubles in you old kit bag……

Our new installation piece, the fabulous twin peaks of ‘Doll Mountain’. Participants were invited to place their protest dolls atop the mountain, to shout their dreams from up on high.

Nicky D – Ready for anything with a camera or hammer – eat your heart out, Rosie Rivetor!

Rallying our wonderful John Masefield rebels before the march.

Rallying with some rousing chants. . .  “Kids Are the New Adults!”

The Young People of Ledbury have Spoken!

Its a teenage riot! Fantastic, surreal slogans get the attention of Castlefield revelers  ” Muffins are Ugly Cupcakes” . . ” Blonde and Proud” . . “I want to be a Narwal” . .

The Makerettes – Glamour and Grit.

“The 1940’s was a great time of empowerment for women. We are extending that message to our young people through our Protest Camp movement. Believe in yourself and be proud of your dreams…”

Fozwan and the Superior Siblings rock the Words in Motion tent to the assembled masses.

Our interview with The Big Chill film company. To be on air soon . . .

Here’s to the fabulous The Makerettes, see you next year Ledbury. . .xxxxxxxx

Thanks so much to Victoria at the Big Chill and we wish her every success with her new project.
