Knebworth Count Down / Not Ten Years Gone

As I write, the Knebworth countdown is on – with 6 days to go to the actual 30th anniversary of the first show, and 10 days to go before the return to Knebworth Celebration Day Event. The Knebworth book is currently at the printers and may well arrive next Tuesday which would be quite fitting.
Graeme and I are travelling over to Old Knebworth tomorrow to check last details at the Lytton Arms.

Planet Nicky / Knebworth (what else?) / The Moon

‘’For the next three hours your mother wouldn’t like it’’
Those words, uttered from the Earls Court stage a few feet away from me, around about 8 o clock on May 24th 1975 by an unassuming guy with a beard are ingrained on my brain – a similar announcement on the evening of August 11th 1979 made by the same person is equally as memorable. So it was very heart warming to be face to face last Sunday night with Nicky Horne the man responsible for that statement.
The occasion was the …

Knebworth Countdown / Rainbow / Who

Thirty years ago just about now, I commenced a Knebworth countdown religiously ticking off the days before the big date. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.
History is somewhat repeating itself as I shape up for another busy August all these years later.
The Knebworth book is nigh on a wrap in terms of design. Martyn and I are just liaising over the final revisions. The last few days have been pretty intensive trying to tie it all up – a big thanks in the direction of Lorraine Robertson and …
