\"Poster<\/p>\n

Myself and some Brougham Road types went to this 1982 festival. There is more print material about it in the photo gallery\u00a0in the ‘Greenham Common Festival’ album.<\/p>\n

I’m sure I saw the Newtown Neurotics play here.<\/p>\n

This was the first non-Stonehenge free festival I’d done. Come back to London as Stonehenge finished at the end of June and at a gig at the Zig Zag Club (Midnight Oil fact fans) suddenly couldn’t take the city. Myself and the Brougham Roaders set off hitch-hiking to Greenham the next day. When we arrived it was a shock. Suddenly Stonehenge seemed very organised and safe compared to this madness. When I hadn’t taken in was the Nuclear Base protest aspect of this ‘festival’.<\/p>\n

Here was a place where reality and fantasy, madness fear and exhilaration were only a heartbeat away. This event changed for me ever, in ways I am still only finding out to this day.<\/p>\n

There’s a seventeen page letter I wrote to Bob Blood & Roses shortly after return from this festival,\u00a0writing about this festival and the Psychedelic Anarchy v Grim Anarcho divide. I can dig it out if you want?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
