Yes that is exactly how I remember it, I remember being camped/parked next to a row of trees like that, near the pyramid. I am getting my mum to have a look and see if she can spot our camp. The pyramid stage looks so cute, I have a very bad quality photo I will post... I don't have any more typed newsletters, but I do have some old newspaper clippings my nan had kept. King Sunny Ade!

The pic of the stage from the left hand side is King Sunny Ade on stage, he was wearing a bright yellow suit, and he danced brilliantly! Wonderful memories. Xx if its King Sunny Ade then it was 1983 - I am not into his music but I did spot his bright yellow suit ' with tassels' - he was running all over the stage shaking some ' stick with bells on ' the bottom close up shot - not sure the date but that does not matter - look at the ground - there was no barriers with line of security behind it and there was not much security on the stage as time and time again some people would climb up ' not to attack the act but just to get on ## for some reason they preferred the left hand side ## one act for some reason there was lots of people climbing up - not sure who was on but security ran away and came back with what appeared to be cooking Oil and poured it down ## but one person who was covered in oil managed to get up on the stage ## and there was a huge roar from the crowd. the other photo I think was 1981 £8 a weekend ticket and 18,000 were sold ## but if you ran a small stall - the cost was £40 { which gave entry to two people } ## Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
