Glastonbury Fayre 1971 - The True Spirit of Glastonbury


Release:  12 aug 2009


In the summer of 1971   the Glastonbury legend was born when the organisers decided to try and create a festival that would be a forerunner for an 'alternative and utopian society'. The festival encompassed Midsummers Day, and in true medieval tradition, the area of Worhty Farm, Pilton was given over to music, dance, poetry, theatre, spontaneous, entertainment and nudity. The aspiring director Nic Roeg (Don't Look Now, The Man Who Fell to Earth) took his film crew to the second Glastonbury festival and recorded the people, the music and their summer of love.
