2021
2021 Rimski's Yard collaborated with Caravanserai, running the outdoor stage, with full line up of entertainment; circus, bands and DJ's (listed below). Co-curated with Chris Tofu of Continental Drifts. Caravanserai is created by Pete Bateman, a higgeldy-piggeldy conjunction of caravans, with spectacular seating booths, and a fantastic fairground style indoor main stage.
With plenty of Wind Ups from Rimski & Handkerchief, including of course, performances with the bicycle piano & double bassicle, plus magical midnight Wind Downs, with an intimate cabaret feel, featuring a variety of surprise special guest artists; culminating in a Sunday night Spectacular!
M. Bullzini himself walks the wire from the piano, with Fergie on the balcony (drums) in Rimski & Handkerchief's Sunday night show. Below bubblologist, Benoir Pepin and solo performer, Kitty Stewart waves to the audience...

" I wish I could live at Rimski's Yard all year round. In 15 years of putting on festivals, I've never been so captivated, intrigued & enamoured, with an act such as this" - Rob Da Bank, co-founder of camp Bestival
