Weeley Pop Festival 1971 (You Dig?)

[williammcgregor]

Apparently this is held in high regard

Has anyone got any more information? about TV or Radio coverage ?

There's masses of information on the internet but did Pathe News or BBC/ ITV film anything?

I reckon Anglia TV would have at least done a news item from there..it would have been on the ITV Source site but I don't think you can search/is it still around? ITV Source anymore? - I maybe wrong?

[Mark Tinkler]

ITN Source no longer exists - ITN news foootage now sold by Getty but much of the metadata from the ITN Source has disappeared... But for Anglia News, you would have to to ITV Clips anyway www.itvarchive.com/login/ .

There's a 10-15min clip i remember seeing of the buildup with Stanley Baker and people arriving etc on film, sadly they don't appear to have captured any of the headliners, i believe there are some audience audio recordings circulating (don't have any myself) apparently they are pretty ropey even by 1971 standards.
