Festival Memories

 

Mayhem

Green day pouring lager all over their kit, smashing it up and burning it to the ground


My first Reading was 1988 when queuing (wristbands, car park) made the vow never to return again. Have been almost every year since!

Crawling under five fences and going through the back of a shop to get into the VIP area

Standing on Caversham Bridge drinking light and bitter and watching people walk to the festival

Catching the Cucumber fish thrown into the crowd during Marillion's set in 1982. Kept it pickled in a jar for years.

Crowd surfing at the festival

Being bounced out of the Crown pub by drug squad officers dressed as Hippies, for 'inciting a riot'

1974 - Swimming across the river to cool down, and the Police making me swim back immediately.

Walking straight in to the Manics with a bottle of Newcastle Brown.

1988 - worst festival ever! Spent more time in the town in the pub!

Going to the first festival in '71 and sitting on chairs!
