This was the second year of the Glastonbury ‘Festival’, and the ‘Fair’ of 1971 started on this day and lasted for five, so is the beginnings of what we generally now know/think of this event.

Performers at this year’s included Family, David Bowie, Mighty Baby, Traffic, Fairport Convention, Gong, Hawkwind, Pink Fairies, Skin Alley, The Worthy Farm Windfuckers and Melanie.

Pleased to have a poem with International Times this morning. My thanks to IT and Rupert Loydell.
