zab 47 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I just wondered if anybody went to or can remember these? The '69 was held at Meadow Lane but I think others were held at Colwick Park. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I didn't go (not quite old enough to have done things like that in 1969) but I'm fascinated by the small print at the bottom. The promoter lived at 110 Grassington Road, Bobbers Mill; I wonder who that person was and if they are still around - although presumably not still living at that address. And tickets are available from Birdcage, Paraphernalia, Grapevine Boutique, and Notts County FC. For its day that is quite a spectacular line-up; I think it would be financially impossible to get an equivalent event today. Ticket prices would be astronomical - certainly more than 22/6 on the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I can remember one in Colwick park, the DJ was Stuart Henry.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I think there were several at Notts County's ground. I seem to think Quo were on once. I also saw one with the great Rory Gallagher. Sure they were both at Meadow Lane. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Didn't attend these festivals as quite honestly could not afford to go, but do I recall one about 1966 at Attenborough, around about where the nature reserve now is, or was it just a dream?

Moz 164 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I went to the one at Colwick Racecourse - '12-Hour Happiness', poster below. Not many people there, but some good bands. This was in 1969. I don't remember receiving my 'free flowers' (last line of poster). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DAVIDW 1,674 Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Not exactly a Notts concert but lots went from Nottingham to the Spalding Tulip auction halls Bank Holiday May 1967 , where Hendrix ,Cream,The Move,Pink Floyd,Geno Washington and Zoot Money were on the bill and the admission was just £1 !!! Check out the posters . http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/spaulding-festival.html I have an awful admission about this , as when we got inside the place , Pink Floyd who were low down the bill, were playing . It was the most awful racket you could imagine (to our ears ). Much worse than that , we couldn't see any girls to chat to and actually left before Cream , Geno or Hendrix came on . I guess with only paying £1 we were pretty blase about the whole thing ! Wish I could go back in time for that one ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zab 47 Posted August 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 First time I've ever seen anyone describe Edgar Broughton as lovely! He played at a friends birthday party last year, he's a nice bloke but is still very political. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
