20th-21st June 1992: DiY at Laxton Solstice Free Festival, Whitley Woods, Northamptonshire

April 13, 2009

Apparently the police restricted access to this site. Don’t know any details though, can anyone help?

I just got a nice email from someone called Pete, who was at this. The photos he mentions are on Alan ‘Tash’ Lodge’s site (see ‘links’ section on the bottom right of the main page), it’s well worth a visit if you want to see some great photos of free festivals and raves in the period this site covers. Pete, if you’re reading this, yes, we’d love to hear some more of your memories :) Anyway, here’s Pete’s mail.

I didn’t make it to Lechlade or Castlemorton but a friend had been insisting I go to all that led up to them and to those 2 big ones and it was only after hearing the tales of Lech’ and ‘morton that I decided to go, and the first thing following as I remember was Laxton.

I never hear of anyone mentioning the Laxton and Colville fest/site parties tho’,and wonder if you have..

I think Tash has 2 photos from Laxton, but of folks, not the scene,cant see much.. and Laxton, being my first, and an acid flip top head opener, really makes me wish to hear about and see photos even video of.
