I took this photo of them in The Cockmill Bar in the Acoustic Field on the Thursday.   Thanks to my phone deciding to delete contact info that I entered during the festival I no longer have their email address.    

I'd like to get a high resolution copy to them.    The older guy, the woman's dad if I remember correctly, in the trilby attended the very first Glastonbury Fayre in 1970.  They are a Somerset family so fairly local to the festival.  If anyone knows who they are and how to get in touch I'd appreciate a PM.  Please don't post their email address in this thread though.

Am off to Glastonbury soon. Will take pic and ask a few of the peeps there I know. Worth a try, I suppose.

Thanks!   Warning, they have very strong Zummerzet accents so if you do run into them you may need a translator.

Send a copy to the Somerset County Gazette, they might put it in the paper for you.

I'll bear that in mind. Used to live there for a while so might get by with help of hands and feet.

A happy ending!

Both local newspapers came up trumps - heard from a niece of the family and separately from the lady in the photo herself this weekend.

Have sent a high res copy to them.  I love it when things work out!

Thanks for all your help folks!

Well done for making the effort and a great pic, in fact Somerset aside they look like they could also be from Peckham! Nice looking characters  

[lord stradmor]
