Glastonbury 1971 .


Images of the Glastonbury crowd .part 2.

hi

I was at the festival in 70 and 71, Ilived in Glastonbury for a couple - 4 years - in a series of tents, barns, etc -
- one thingIi can say is that there were toilets - I had an antique (18th century) pirate coat which I had
been given and my girlfriend had made me a shirt with huge sleeves so I could not wear the jacket and loaned
it to a friend who fell in the trench whilst wearing it - incidentally you also have a picture of me on the
site -

I am the one with the black cloak and red hood and long fair hair - top right! - i guess you got it from
the film - they captured the meeting between me and my friend (with me in the pic) perfectly - we had not
seen each other for an age
keep up the good work

Nudity apparently abounded and for once the British weather  provided suitable conditions for the shedding of clothing on a fairly large scale. Whereas most British rock  festivals were pretty laid back affairs it appears that there was much dancing, a large contingent bopping wildly to Fairports jigs and reels and everyone getting off wildly during Traffic's set , the stage being crowded with freaks in every known stage of intoxication and Traffic delivering the goods with a fantastic version of 
Gimme Some Loving.

Hello gwshark I've been walking down memory lane on your web site! I'm in "crowd scenes 2" at Glastonbury Fayre 71 to the right of the guy in the top hat! Female, long hair,
tamborine, smile on my face!
