Subject: RE: 'Lincoln' Folk festival July 1971
So Sandy Denny was on the bill - I couldn't remember among so many acts. Everyone who was anyone was there. Can't remember how I got there or back from SouthLondon, but I do recall James Taylor saying it was cold on stage but not to send up any of the bonfires sprouting around the site. My goodness it was anarchic, but don't recall any aggro. The loos were indescribable - I had a sheltered life and soggy plywood over a chasm was life changing. Hardly any food vendors, and an announcement at one point that the organisers had asked the vendors to keep the prices down (cheers).
One of those special moments. Fantastic.
