Book of the Month August 2024
Festivalized
A fascinating oral history of the free festival movement from people who lived it. Stonehenge free festivals and the children of albion with peace and love through to the darker days of the battle of the beanfield. A book about freedom, creativity, community, idealism and also the harsh realiies of the politics of the times.
βThe British free festival movement, and the way that it was viciously quashed by successive waves of The Establishment is a story that many have skirted around, but until now no one has done justice to. Ian and Bridget's extraordinary book is an oral history of these turbulent times.β Gonzo Multimedia
