Altalt: *pulls up chair* Did I ever tell you about the 'Woodstock of the 80s',
the Treworgey Tree Fayre oF '89? I have? Well let me remind you....

I cannot put into words how fucking brilliant it was. Not only did I see pretty much every band still going that I wanted to see over the four days I was there, but it was my first unsupervised weekend away from home. It was a life-changing event for me.

Just look at the pictures. This was the Real Deal and its like will never be seen again, sadly.

Haha the Treworgy Tree Fayre?
That sounds more like one of Cavey's days out.

I see what you mean about the photos.
I can see a late 80's Nissan Bluebird, a Toyota pickup and a Volvo 760 there.

You can almost smell the crusties from those pictures.

It was like being at a medieval horse fair or something,
with grubby vagabonds all over the place etc. Those old festivals were like something outside of time, they really felt to me like I was connecting to an ancient British tradition of such things that goes right back to pre-Roman times etc.

This might be the most bent thing I have ever posted.

I imagined that I could hear Jerusalum playing as I read it.

Correction

It's even more bent than one of my posts about my sartorial choices.
