    Britain in the 80s, a decade chock full of some crap fashions, big permed haircuts, mass unemployment and (worst of all ) a shitty repressive government who hated anyone who wasn't acting like they were stuck in an upper middle class suburb in the 1950s. However, they couldn't stop us rocking at least , but they had a go at closing down as many gathering that weren't safely corralled into venues like The Bowl at Milton Keynes.

This looks like it was a good day, blue skies and generally good music- anyone who attended got some recollections to donate ?
