In 58 days we will be in Amsterdam, 59 days to a T&T at the Bluebird 10:00am 60 days to Kings Day

And 50 days to our London 420 T&T kids

loads of bands. bear in mind nothing was organised, no-one was in charge, there were no rules or anything. people jusy knew to turn up at the start of june and just get on with it. the basic ethos was "bring what you expect to find"

hawkwind, gong, roy harper, the enid, selecter, flux, crass, discharge, jimmy page, inner city unit, laughing sams dice, poisoned elektrick head, here & now, man, ozric tentacles, wystic mankers, radio mongolia, doctor and the medics, the mob, culture shock, the sub-humans, zorch, dexys, tompson twins, .... these are just bands i remember seeing there .... loads more played that i was too messed up to remember right now ..... here's a video link (1st of 4 parts) and it's a real trip down memory lane ... enjoy

Kind of missed all that, we didn't really "drop out" that far. However one of our daughters did the traveller stuff for a few years so we were fully in touch, and we have worked the Beautiful Days festival a couple of years. So if you want to see the beat up vans and buses for a bit of nostalgia it's a good festival. Obviously not free anymore, but def no commercial crap all over the place, good sounds, vibes and a beautiful festival site and always been put on by The Levellers. Brilliant.





I took out all the seats and away I went
it's a right old banger and the chassis' bent
it's got a great big peace sign across the back
and most of the windos have been painted black

the windshield's cracked, it's a bugger to drive
it starts making smoke over forty-five
it's a phsychedelic nightmare with a million leaks
it's home-sweet-home to ssome sweet arse freaks

slow down itinerant child, the road is full of danger
slow down itinerant child, there's no more 'welcome, stanger'

soon I was rumbling through the mornign fog
with my long haired children and my one eyed dog
with the trucks and the buses and the trailer-vans
my long throw horns playing Steely Dan

we straggled out for miles along the Beggar's Hill
when the word came donw that we'd lost Old Bill
you can bet your boots i'm coming when the times are hard
that's why they keep my dossier at Scotland Yard

slow down itinernat child, you're still accelerating
slow down itinerant child, the boys in blue were waiting
itinernat child don't do what your doing
itinerant child you'd better slow down

we drove into Happy Valley seeking peace and love
with a lone helicopter hanging up above
we didn't realise untill we hit the feild
there were four hundred cozzers holding riot sheilds

they terrorized our babies and they broke our heads
it's a stone fucking miracle there's no-one dead
they turned my ramshackle home into a burning wreck
my one-eyed dog got a broken neck

slow down itinerant child, the road is full of danger
slow down itinerant child, there's no more 'welcome, stanger'
slow down itinernat child, you're still accelerating
slow down itinerant child, the boys in blue were waiting

Happy Wednesday Spidergwad the first video looked like a great concert and a very nice venue, the second song is best if you don't listen to the second verse lived through similar times myself.

Nice one Will, maybe we get a few more along. Perhaps we can entice Fat Old Dwarf north of the river for a session. And anyone else around who can make Hyde Park on 20th.

And how was Memphis?

The short answer is great when we are face to face I'll bore you with the long answer:)

We looked at that, but we live in a coal mining iron forging area of the rust belt here in Pennsylvania in fact the infamous Centralia mine fire is in our county. We are more into the medieval and Roman ruins we don't have them here, but free is our price tag

Cool see you there, Bluebird has, for us, a great early morning vibe usually our first stop after an overnight flight from the states.

[Willjay]

46 days till we arrive 47 days till our T&T 48 days till King's Day

[LLMReb]

I'm hanging in the Central Time Zone excited about the same thing. I love that countdown. Tomorrow less than 40 days until 4/20, and although I'm not going that early, the excitement of the posters here will tide me over.
