On the weekend of 1st to 2nd August a "VESTIVAL" was held on the Isle of Wight. Supporters of the Vestas occupation - environmental activists, trade unionists and others - gathered at the Vestas factory near Newport to demand the factory stay open and for more wind power and a green energy revolution! For Green jobs and for a prosperous Isle of Wight economy! There was a march and rally of 200 or so in Newport, starting at St Thomas's Square at 1.00pm on the Saturday. On the Sunday there was 'kids and family' day at the sight of the protestor's encampment outside the factory. A multitude of tents are crammed toegther onto a traffic island outside the plant (now dubbed "the magic roundabout") - with 'climate camp' veterans mixing with RMT trade unionists and others. Folk band Seize The Day made a song about the occupation called "Boys on the Balcony" which you can listen to in the player below, or download here. | 2
