Pink Fairies, Twink (bass drum), Paul Rudolph (bugle), Boss Goodman (bass drum), Mick Farren, and Hawkwind's Robert Calvert lead the Pink Fairies Marching Drum Band around the Glastonbury festival site at Worthy Farm, Pilton, Somerset, in June 1971.
Mick Farren talks about the events that led up to the "freeing" of the 1970 Isle of Wight Festival by a motley band of British Hells Angels, White Panthers, and continental anarchists . Also includes footage from the "Frost Show Freakout", in which American Yippies Jerry Rubin and Stew Albert cause chaos on the David Frost Show aided and abetted by a delegation of pranksters from the British underground press, including the likes of Mick Farren, Boss Goodman, Felix Dennis and Richard Neville.
Short clip - Pink Fairies second Roundhouse reunion of 1975 - July 13th. The bill featured Pink Fairies, Stray, Radar Favourites and D.J. Andy Dunkley. Pink Fairies line-up consisted of John 'Twink' Alder, Russell Hunter, Paul Rudolph, Duncan 'Sandy' Sanderson, and Larry Wallis.
The original footage has been around for some years but the quality has obviously deteriorated having been transferred onto VHS at some point and finally digitalised.* The soundtracks are not synchronised with the film footage although they do derive from the relevant performances.
* Tony Davdison (Tonal) out of Pink Fairies covers band Pink FA has shed light on the provenance of the footage - "the video you have on myspace was shot on 8mm by Geoff Eade,He showed me it in 1978 when I joined his band the infamous Drag Squad who released the equally infamous 'Operation Julie' 7" single.a singer very much in the Farren mould.In 1992 I remember this & for the reason of social history I get my mate to transfer it to video......Geoff & I thought of getting someone to put it out....UFO of Hanway Street came to mind as they had just released 'Syd's First Trip'....also silent....of course nowt could be done...so my mate Richard Clarke fronts the money & it sells about 10 copies!!........."
