GUEST,trainspotter 52 'Lincoln' Folk festival July 1971 (129* d) RE: 'Lincoln' Folk festival July 1971 26 Jun 12


I was 22 and a graduate trainee at British Steel in Corby. We been out for our normal friday night session when someone mentioned this folk festival tomorrow at Lincoln. So following morning with hangovers we pile into a car and head up the A1 towards Lincoln Can remember getting lost a couple of times ( no sat navs then) and arriving just as the show started. I remember the Byrds coming on and playing an acoustic opening then announcing to the audience that it was supposed to be an acoutic festival "well Fuck that" and went into an incredible electric set. Other stand out sets for me were Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee; James Taylor and Buffy Saint Marie. It was certainly the greatest one day festival that I'd been to before or since. Sitting playing * miles high brings it all back
