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...![]()

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.
