Outdoor Pursuits Rock...?

by John Bownas | 30 October 2004

The worlds of family caravan holidays and Rock! don't always seem to go hand in hand, but when Leeds Festival band Mohair won a tent pitching contest they found themselves thrust thrust into the camping spotlight.

Mohair Erections!

Mohair's drummer Pete Baker and the band's manager were just mucking around when they entered a regional heat of the World Tent Pitching Championships at Leeds Festival earlier this year...little did they think that 12 cans of lager later they would be through to the finals at this year's Caravan and Outdoor Show at Earls Court...not bad for someone who hates camping!

Unfortunately the band has a gig down in Hastings on the day of the final itself (Saturday 6th - The Crypt), so if you're heading down to the show then give Pete a cheer - and if you buy him a pint he might just give you some more top erection tips!

VF will be shuffling down to the exhibition to find out what camping goodies and gadgets we can blag for a few readers to make next year's festival season a little more comfortable.
