Did anyone else visit the Crunlin Pop Festival near Huddersfield in 1970. I remember Mungo Jerry, The Groundhogs, Fairport Convention, Ginger Bakers Airforce and many more over 3 days when the rain never stopped. Organisation was totally non existent. I don't think there were any toilets or runing water, except for the rivers running through the camp site. I would love to hear from anyone else who was there who might shed a bit of light on 3 very hazy days of my life.

Hi Chris I was a student at the Poly. We used to spend lunchtimes at the Swan. They did daft shows with audience participation. Drink a 1/2 stood on your head etc. They would get 10 volunteers lined up and the quickest would win a pint. Beer all over the place, but cheap drinking for hard up students. They also had resident go-go dancers who were quite good. I was quite good at drinking upside down and won quite often. Beer was Sam Smiths and a bit grim though. I saw Joe Cocker, Frank White and many others between 1967 and 1971. I dont think I ever paid more than a bob on the door and often it was free.

I was a fan of Frank White from the late 60s. We also used to get drunk with members of the Glitter Band who lived in Hathersage. Not Gary I might add. We used to visit the Birley and the Blue Bell at Hackenthorpe, there was always a live band. Sadly I don't recall many of the names. Does anyone have a listing of records released by Frank White over the years. I keep loooking out for his early recordings.
