Woodstock Festival. Anyone old enough to remember it? I know there are some old farts like me on here. This was the "Summer of Love". 1969 - as far as I'm concerned, the best year of my life!

The following year aged 16 I went to the Bath Festival which was the UK version of Woodstock. I was working in the warehouse of Mills and Mills stationery Fairfax Street, opposite the Silver Sword pub. I was the youngest of the group of workmates, it was a 3 day festival. Top of the bill were Led Zeppelin, plus the likes of Canned Heat, Edgar Winter Band, and many more top acts. We had four seasons of weather in 3 days, baking sun, wind, and torrential rain. But I loved it there and from them on went to outdoor concerts every year. And yes Zeppelin were awesome !

My best year was a couple of years earlier, 1967.
That's when I got my new Lambretta scooter and was finally free.
Did not have to use buses any more and could go wherever I wanted, whenever I wanted.
The music in 1967 was the best ever as well, at least to my ears.

I'm playing Sleaford Mods and do you know what they are spot on. 65 and loving Sleaford Mods !
