Hello,
I found this a few days ago.
http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/reading-89.html
Well worth a look. A non commercial community archive site covering UK festivals of the 60s, 70s and 80s. A great deal of stuff on the free festival scene which is absolutely fascinating. It invites contributions from them that were there. In the wonderful words of the people who run it: "tell us before you snuff it."
Its lacking in eye witness accounts of the Spacemen at Reading so perhaps we can rectify that? I've had a crack myself and will send it in. maybe someone can re write the relevant section from Dream Weapon and send that in too.
I love these sites. I've read stuff about stonehendge and seen the hawkwind video but there are dozens of photos and first hand accounts, press reports etc all in one place. All genres, all events, all angles. Superb.
