This new batch of photos © Jaap van der Galiën !

Still on I-o-W subject as a point of interest, and I think incredible chance, on page: http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/iow70-site-19.html Second photo down (crowd scene) the young chap more or less right in the middle of the frame with fairly short hair wearing a striped shirt is me ,aged 17 ! Unfortunately my face is turned away from the camera, but I am certain it is me. I have family photos from the same time in which I am wearing the same shirt and have the same hair style. Sincere regards Kim Eley
