Subject: RE: 'Lincoln' Folk festival July 1971
We were the first to arrive at the campsite on the Tuesday. Why I can't remember. A reporter came to interview us and managed to drive her car into deep ditch halfway across the field. It was amazing to watch the field fill up at first slowly then by hoards.
We camped right next to a tree in the middle of the field. So everyone that arrived on Wednesday and Thursday came our way to say hello. Including some hells angels. which was a bit of a worry but they seemed quite friendly. And gave us lift into town on their easy rider style bikes to buy ciggies and booze (no crash helmets). We spent the night swigging cider and wine mixed in the same large plastic bottle. Never been able to even think about that since. I don't know why but I keep on thinking we met Richard Branson at that event. ???
