First festival? 1974/5? Barnsley Eastertime. James and I were invited by Dave Burland. Camped behind the pub (The Cut??)next to an Australian couple named Bruce and Sheila. I'm not joking! It was bloody freezing! The landlord of the pub took pity on us poor campers, and we were allowed in at 10am into the bar! I seem to remember his daughter distributing drams of Drambuie! Highlight of the weekend? Doing a support spot for Martin Carthy, on the Monday afternoon. Barnsley Civic Hall!
