Jenny Vestey
I was at the first festival in Pilton with my now dead ex husband (that sounds weird) in 1970. On either the 30th anniversary or the 40th, probably the latter, I was driving by the site thinking “Was it really that long ago and was I really there?” When on the radio I heard him being interviewed, talking about the first one and what it was like then. He died earlier this year, among his possessions I came across the interview he had done for Radio 4 on a CD. There is apparently some photos of me somewhere, either in a book or an album but I have never seen them. As the saying goes “If you can remember it then you weren’t there” All I can remember is that it rained right up to the day that it started, we were there to help set it up so didn't have to pay £1 entrance fee. It was held in two fields, not a lot of people came, there was a St John’s Ambulance and an ice cream van, and the sound system was crap!
