I remember the Groat attempting to write anti-punk rock scare stories at the time.
A while back I was sorting through some old letters and found a mention of a planned Caithness rock festival in 1977. I remember talk of it at the time : Hawkwind were the headliners...possibly the only band booked...but nothing ever came of it. I cannot for the life of me remember what the details were, but checking old Hawkwind tour lists, there's an entry for "Caithness Festival - Brubster - cancelled", so I haven't imagined it. Can anybody mind who tried to organise it or what actually happened?

Shame it wasn't just posponed... until now...
“We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine....
And the machine is bleeding to death."
I've got a memory of it being a day of rain and wind, though having seen Hawkwind a couple of times since, I doubt that would have put them off. First time I ever saw them, they looked so out of it that a plague of locusts could have crossed the stage and they wouldn't have noticed.
