Is that the one where Joe Brown and the Bruvvers appeared?
A great guitarist, he played Hava Nagila behind his back.

Did anyone on here attend the Botwell Pop Festival in June 1963? Names appaearing, Gerry & the Pacemakers, Del Shannon, Most Brothers, etc. It was held in church grounds if I remember correctly, the stage was just some scaffolding with a sheet of canvas as a bit of a roof. Pictures taken at the festival. Click on each of the two pictures to get a larger view. https://www.dropbox.com/sc/zouazy3xbnlxl76/AABtd5XC7y_7Mn3HzT6iRAMCa |

.... also Cliff Bennett & the Rebel Rousers and Billy J Kramer & the Dakota's appeared - what a bill for such a small venue. I remember travelling from my home in Chalfont St Pter to attend the festival, it seemed a long way away in those days! |

I'd heard of Woodstock and the Isle of Wight, but not Botwell...right on my doorstep! |

I think Cliff Bennett or one of his Rebel Rousers lived in Leven Way Hayes (just off Wood End Green Rd) near the school. |

Sounds like a recipe for Hava Hernia! |

I remember Joe Brown at the Savoy in Southsea, the stage looked out over the Solent, the QE/QM went by, he stopped playing to watch, never seen anything like it being from the smoke. |
