GUEST,Charlie	chorley wakes (21)	chorley wakes festivals	10 Jan 10
Just listening to John Martyn recorded at the 1976 Chorley wakes festival, Lancashire. It sounds a riot! Martyn is introduced by the distinctive tones of compere, Tony Capstick as,'featuring the worlds most famous lunatic...Danny Thompson' . Apparently , Chorley shops ran out of beer and rizla papers over this weekend. Burland, Jack the Lad, Hedgehog Pie and The Dransfields also played.Apparently there were 2 festivals in '76 and '77 and a 3rd one planned ,but when headliners Lindisfarne pulled out, the money disapeared. Did anyone go ? what was it like? Was anything else recorded?
