NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL WASTED!

A mass pillow fight – a rocket to Russia..and finally a snow dome: the surreal excitements of Cornwall’s fastest growing home-grown festival were obviously just too much for one particular reveller.

The unknown raver (linked above) was snapped succumbing in epic style to the ravages of last weeks Masked Ball at Porthleven.

Now the footage, which shows the lone waster literally knocked for six by a night of relentless fun, is doing the round on the web – but still without a clue as to who this party legend is.

Ball spokesman Nigel Pengelly said: “Everybody at this years event had great fun, there was a great atmosphere, no-one was injured or hurt or anything.”

He added: “Obviously the gentleman in this video partied hard with the best of them!”

Cornwall’s Masked Ball is in its fifth year and has firmly placed itself at the top end of the South West party scene.

The bash raised cash for Porthleven Christmas lights, and Pants – a charity that raises awareness of gynaelogical and testicular cancer.

Organiser Kelvin Batt said: “This year was an awesome event without injury or mishap.

“We used local artistic and musical talent to design a festival that was intimate and adventurous.”

“In the Bedlam Marquee partygoers walked in through a wardrobe door and were handed pyjamas to wear as they ventured into a giant bedroom with beds, pillows, cuddly toys and tea trolleys.

“Once the party was in full swing, the air was a mass of feathers from ruptured pillows and cuddly toys of all description flew through the air.

“Another area called the Snowdome had real snow falling from inside the marquee.

There were three name acts on the rosta of more than 30 DJs and performers.

The Stanton Warriors played on the outside Inflammaball Stage to a full crowd and a full moon.

“Over in the ballroom notorious raconteur and former party animal Brandon Block played out to just as packed a crowd.

“Friendly Fires, nominated for best British group at the Brit Awards, also played a DJ set in the main ballroom.

Brandon said after the party: ““This is the best small festival I have ever been to.

“I cannot believe how up for having fun the people here are; it’s all so good-natured.””

The DJ roster representing the Duchy included:

Timbo Symmons
Snatch The Wax
Lee Palm
Jac The Disco
Sir Vinyl
Freerange DJs
Nigel Pengelly
Kevin Godden and
Jamie Giddens,

Head honcho Kelvin added: “There is so much talent in Cornwall and it’s good to good to get local artists and businesses involved in putting on a superb event.

“I’’d like to thank all those who contributed in one way or other, and especially those who came along and joined in the spirit of the
occasion.”
