I still have the tickets - an all day ticket was £2.

My two memories are sitting on the front bumper of Tom Paxtons roller talking to Ralph McTell amidst a fog of wacky backy fumes, and making our way across a muddy field to the strains of Buffy Sainte Marie, trying to find our way back to the bus stop. Needless to say we missed the train home and spent the night on Lincoln Bus Station.
