Photographs and Recollections.

The most memorable festival for me was Nostell Priory in 1984. I believe Reading was cancelled at the last minute, so a few of the bands came north to a little festival on the outskirts of Wakefield, but there was very little announced in advance about which bands were on and as it was last minuet the ticket prices were still very low (£3.50 for the day if I remember correctly)

As a 17 year old I was really into Thin Lizzy and Marillion, and didn't know that Marillion were headlining and that Phil Lynott's Grand Slam were also on the bill (I think that Alvin Lee was also on the bill) until we were on the bus heading to Nostell Priory.
