What. A. Line-up! 🤩

Poole Goes Vintage 2025 brought the house down with a jam-packed day of unforgettable performances, transporting us through the golden era of 1940s to 1960s music! 🎙🎶

From the smooth vocals of Amy Baker and the swingin’ stylings of the Fifinellas and the Finfinellas Swing Band, to the electric energy of Peter Gill as Jerry Lee Lewis and the soul-stirring harmonies of The Land Girls - every act brought vintage magic to the streets of Poole! 🔥

And of course, we had the incredible DJ Mr D kept the vibes high all day long and the GI45 DJs who brought those toe-tappin’, dance-floor-fillin’ classics that kept us grooving in the sunshine! 🌞

Big love to our fabulous host Mr D, and to everyone who danced, clapped, and sang along with us - YOU made it one to remember! 🤭

Hit play on the reel to relive some of our favourite moments, and let us know in the comments, who was your favourite act from the day? 👇🏻

Be sure to follow us to stay in the loop for future Stir! Events, we’ve got more vintage goodness on the way! ✨

A massive thank you to our headline sponsors Poole BID for their continued support in bringing this celebration to life! 💙
