Festivals & Ford Escorts

Knebworth Festival 1978



Accompanied by my brother, his girlfriend Caroline and her friend Jenny we travelled up in a beaten up old Ford Escort belonging to my brother. The exhaust fell of about 10 miles from the venue which I fixed by using an old school tie to strap it back onto the manifold. Because of this we missed the first half of the Brand X slot (which I was gutted about as I was really into them at the time). Anway the rest of the day was good weather, good beer, good music and lot of laughs!. My highlight was seeing Genesis again for the second time (this time without Steve Hackett sadly).
When the gig finished it was the usual chaos getting out of the car park so we decided to sleep in the car until it died down which turned out to be 6.00am next morning (yawn). We drove back home very slowly due to the knackered exhaust which made us sound like a Chieftain Tank!
