Hi T, thanks so much for risking all and photographically recording our life history, you must have lost so many films to the filth and your dedication to our many tribes has my utmost respect. All came outa your pocket of that I have no doubt! Would like you to have my email ad, I have photos (the ones not destroyed by u kno who) I'd like to share. Date from Henge 83 to aprox 1997, Hugs Niky (convoy)

Had amazing times at the earth, moon and tree fairs around 81/82 in East Anglia. Thought I'd caught fire a couple of times, but it was the turquoise micros. I don't think those days will ever come round again. Thanks all...

@Ziggyztarz

My name is Greg. The first festival I went to was the fated Windsor Free in '74 when I was 15. I was at many festivals till '85 when I left the country. I drove Jenn and Magic Marks old truck, then I got a Jtype tipper and later a big yellow FG with an extended crewcab that I made. I also did up Belgian sally's bus in London. Where are Bender Dave, Gypsy Dave, Pikey Pete, Manic Mark, Little Chris, and so many others now?

[knooquee]

@bluetipi Hi Greg, dya still go naked? I was part of that crowd for many many years, Phil the Beer+Lucy, Gwen Ruthy Jade and Pikey's daughter Amber. Bendy Dave, Rico, The Venusian, Scot Rose, Lurch, Vaggabondi, Jam and bro Loo, Tibetan Ukrain M Troupe, Mutants and so on and on. And of course our Tash! Glad your still alive we have lost so many of our older troups. Niky

[egodband]

What a beautiful set of photos thanks so much for posting! We had a 'cafe' called The Festering Kipper there for a couple of years, and seeing all the old waggons made me realise how much I miss it. Are there any festivals with even remotely the same vibe these days? If anyone knows of any and has their contact details, drop us a line as we are dying to play somewhere with proper atmosphere!

[Ziggyztarz]

Try up North, they have a few Festivals up there now, which are more like the 'Old School' stuff. I spent a long time with 'The Peace Convoy' so you might have met me, I used to 'Lodge Keep' sometimes.

[egodband]

Hi Ziggystarz. Thanks for replying! I live up north now. Which festivals are you meaning specifically, and where can I get details? :-)

[Ziggyztarz]

I C* Spider's & Pikey's Waggons, friends of mine....... I'll be at Woodhenge and Stonehenge this year, I hope, maybe I'll see you there.

[lesandclaire]

The Venusian! I swapped a huge circular mirror off of him at Henge '84.. was very useful ;o)

[TheGrumpytroll]

...especially seeing the Tibetan Ukrainian bus... woah!! And the tipee buses.... man I can hardly remember some of those events... tiny, perhaps 50 folk and all good people... life before raqve culture... the summers from 76-86 were THE best, am.... thanks again for the great photos... lots of hippy happy memories all round! Much love, Grumpy.

[TheGrumpytroll]

Tash, great photo set, for those who were there this is really nostalgic....
