Great Western Festival Lincoln 1972 Query

[Jeff Leach]

A friend of mine was telling me of this festival that was billed as the UK's best Festival line up that he went to in 1972

The line-Up was incredible :

Alexis Korner
Doctor Ross
Buddy Miles
Rory Gallagher
Nazareth
Locomotive GT
Roxy Music
Heads, Hands and Feet
Wishbone Ash
The Strawbs
Stone The Crows
The Faces with Rod Stewart
Natural Acoustic Band
Focus
Brewers Droop
Spencer Davis
Incredible String Band
Lindisfarne
Average White Band
Persuasions
Slade
Monty Python's Flying Circus
The Beach Boys
Jackson Heights
Atomic Rooster
Vinegar Joe
Sutherland Brothers
Genesis
Status Quo
Don McLean
Humble Pie
Sha Na Na
Joe Cocker
Budgie

There is a short video from the BFI You Tube page made by HTV
But there must surely be more footage of the festival considering the acts that appeared certainly when I believe the actor Stanley Baker was one
of the organisers and helped fund the venture.

Can't find any proper footage of this anywhere on the web Can anyone help ?

Awesome lineup. A friend of ours was there working in a soup kitchen.

There is (or was) a display on this great festival at the old Bardney railway station in Lincolnshire

[Neil Burniston]

Yes I was at the Bardney station tea room just last year and all the posters and memorabilia are still there to view. A work colleague went to this festival and often recalled how stellar the line-up was. It really is in the back and beyond in Lincolnshire, a fair few miles outside Lincoln. Off topic but there is a little hamlet up the road with the wonderful name of Bardney Dairies!

Seems strange Ray that there's very little recording either audio or film of the event.

Another friend of ours was there. I've asked him if he can remember anything about any filming of the festival.
