Caption/Description

twice a year arround 5000 Rockabillies from arround the world gathered in a little city called Hemsby in England. The Rockabillies live a life according to the fifties. They wear the same clothes listen to Rock n Roll music, are driving in old american cars, are dancing jitterbug and even the tattoos have to have the same style as back then. They belive that life was much better back then and people was more positive. and as they say, we know too much today and things have become far too complicated.
