The Great British Woodstock: The Incredible Story
of the Weeley Festival 1971, By RAY CLARK
In the tiny village of Weeley, near Clacton on Sea, Essex, local bands were being booked to play and make a bit of money for charity. But the Weeley Festival soon spiralled out of control as top name bands attracted 150.000 revellers with the resultant chaos of fires on site, pitched battles with the Hells Angels and more. The tiny village was overwhelmed and then at the end came the expected question 'where did all the gate money go ? '.
A factual account of farcical and adventurous times, with many photographs, by Radio Caroline presenter Ray Clark.
