FLY2 10,108 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 It shows the varied ages of the fans these days. When I attended The National Jazz & Blues festivals in the 60's, it was all teens and twenties. I could barely stand for two hours nowadays, never mind two days. Never even bothered with sleeping bags half the time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moody cow 87 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Think Jimmy Somerville was at a Wollaton concert years ago when they used do a free one there. Remember seeing Adam rickett who did I breathe again( he used play Nick years ago in coronation street. Before current one.then had a go at singing ) .i remember all girls screaming when he lifted his t shirt up a bit . And used be a few others on same bill only doing one or two songs. I just remember it was free. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HSR 286 Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 Remember attending one of these, don't think it was called splendour then.. about 1992, If I remember correctly Dr Feelgood were headlining. Definitely free, sponsored by Heineken. Traditionally, Not a Special's fan, but did see them on Graham Norton....very good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
