Thread Name: 'Lincoln' Folk festival July 1971
Subject: RE: 'Lincoln' Folk festival July 1971
I was there as a 16 year kid. I was told I couldn't go, but went anyway. My friend and I travelled up from South Wales, hitching and catching buses. We slept the night before in one of the old style bus shelters. Shared it with some Hell's Angels!
The best festival I've ever been too. Ralph McTell opened and The Byrds were amazing. But those toilets ... and the girls seated the other side of the fence watching!!!
Took us 3 days to hitch back home. I walked in the house and my dad just said, 'You're back then?' Was I relieved!
