I don't know do you remember your first festival? (70* d) do you remember your first festival? 13 Sep 10


Sitting here thinking about my first folk festival had me thinking do you remember yours?
My first experience was in 1976 aged 16 when I went with a crowd to Norwich Folk Festival at Norwich University. I remember it was a pleasant weekend with good camping & a good well behaved crowd, but the outstanding memory was when my husband to be told me I would not like the guy on the outside stage (Richard Digance) & took me in the main hall to watch Steeleye Span. I loved Steeleye Span anyway & this was the first time I saw them live. After that festival I got my way & went to see Richard Digance who I think is every good.
I often wonder way festivals are not held in collages/universities more often? Is it cost & limited time of availability that stops it happening?
