Another virtually forgotten one day festival,for which we have pix but no other details .

    • Brinsley Schwarz
    • Hot Cottage
    • Taste

String Driven Thing at Inverness 1970

According to one source this was the first gig for String Driven Thing . However, this was the first and last festival, held in Inverness in the 70s , so presumably it wasn't a financial success, I'm presuming rain (as it was held outdoors ), or insufficient punters to make the venture worth repeating .

Who can help flesh out the festival with reviews , information, recordings and photographs ? Contact us if you can help.
