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.

Cliff was landlord of The Villiers in the Hafod for many years. A lovely man, but not someone to fvck with.
