GLASTONBURY

THE LAST TIME I WENT TO GLASTONBURY WAS 1981, NEW ORDER AND FRANK ZAPPA WERE THE BIG NAMES.

I FOUND A SITE http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/glastonbury-festival-1981.html

WHERE IT SHOWS THE PLAYLIST FOR THAT YEAR. THE FESTIVAL WAS OBVIOUSLY ALOT SMALLER THEN, AND ALOT MORE POLITICAL - ALTHOUGH I HAVE TO CONFESS I WAS THERE FOR THE MUSIC NOT CND. (AND COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF SCRUMPY CIDER, A GALLON WAS £2.50 !)

I HAVE OFTEN THOUGHT OF GOING AGAIN - BUT THINK IT'S PROBABLY FAR TOO BIG AND CORPORATE FOR ME NOW.

ANYWAY, ENOUGH BEING AN OLD FOGEY THE CHEAPER VERSION OF GLASTONBURY (JUST GET YOUR LOCAL PUB TO SWITCH THE HIGHLIGHTS ON THEIR TV) HAS GONE TO:

THE WHITE SWAN, GILLING WEST

THE BLACK BULL, MELSONBY

THE BLACK SWAN, STAINDROP

THE SHIP INN, MIDDLESTONE VILLAGE

THE LORD NELSON, GAINFORD

THE QUAKERHOUSE, DARLINGTON

THE GEORGE, PIERCEBRIDGE

THE OLD WELL, BARNARD CASTLE

THE WHITE SWAN, DANBY WISKE

THE OLD YARD TAPAS BAR, DARLINGTON

ENJOY!
