• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

That was some lineup!

If I remember correctly, the first Bath Blues Festival was the previous year and held in the city but the promoters wanted something bigger so the following year they used the huge Bath & West Showground which is about 20 miles from Bath but perhaps more significantly, only 2 miles from Worthy Farm, Pilton, home of the Glastonbury Festival site. The story is that Michael Eavis was at the Bath & West one so a few months later, he put on his own festival called the Pilton Pop, Folk & Blues Festival but it was effectively the first Glastonbury festival and renamed Glastonbury Fair the following year. Even now, people around where I live still refer to the festival as Pilton rather than Glastonbury.
