Pretty sure we went to this with my older brother Steve. Windsor
was the precusor to th Reading Festival which changed from a Blues
base to Rock and endured its move across cities and venues,
The National Jazz and Blues Festival started here in Windsor
I think and was still called that before changing fields into the
centre of Reading . . . . . we saw Keef Hartley a lot around then
and Jon Hiseman et al with John Mayall the father to them all.
I have said before but it was having an older brother who turned
me onto early blues at 13 Big Bill Leadbelly Josh White etc being
preciocious favourites but the discovery of Mayall and Alexis
Korner came as a revelation that there were
Blue Men Singing the Whites!
