Over the years I've built up a large collection of recordings and rather than leave them in a big cardboard box I've put them online to share. I'm retired now but I worked for about 40 years as a media technician at City College in Norwich, an FE college. Because of this I was able to "undertake staff development" - ie borrow equipment - a long time before it became generally available. There's also a collection of sound recordings from events in Norwich during the 1980's
So lots of stuff here, punk gigs, demos and stuff as well as 8mm films made by my school teacher Dalton Moorhouse who was the person who inspired me to follow the career I did.

I went for the first time since 1999 last Sunday, totally flat and not a sign of any edginess. I miss the old Pilton fair with the travellers being there to make it a bit more Glasto
Think I paid £47ish in 1992. Cost of it now is scary. Also, now it’s overhyped. Wouldn’t fancy going now if honest.
I went in 1990 and 92. Best time ever. Not the same now
Gerronit la!
Gerronit la!
My wife went in 1987 with her best mate. They were both 18 and hitchhiked all the way back to blackburn afterwards because they had no money. She is still upset to this day about Famous Army Stores.
Wey hey I’m in Leyland 👍🏼
3:17 white capped tee really looks like me, but I don't wear glasses.
Huntsman fucking boots and helicopters now 🤣🤣🤣🤣wankers very green peace
i dont mean this the wrong way but what leaps out at me is how its full of white folk white british people & i really miss that in this country, i dont care how people take it but ive spent a lot of my adult life travelling it used to be one of my favourite things to do but it was also really nice to get back home to britain & be back around people from my culture with my own language again nowadays i wouldnt be able to tell where the hell i was in the world if i didnt know i was in uk & i dont like travelling anymore i have no interest in other cultures anymore at all not since i have felt the threat of losing mine
Is this the one with New Order headlining on Saturday night and Elvis Costello on Friday?
I think Floyd Lloyd and the Potato 5 played there that year. They were shit hot live
Ruined by tv coverage and woke mummy and daddy’s kids now ..great back in the day before it ba came mainstream
Lots of denim, leather, army shirts and knitted jumpers worn by lots of pale people in them old canvas tents, funny it looks like Russia lol,I didn't go till 99,there seemed to be more normal dressed people rather than the travelling look.sad about the no recycling in them days because the massive cleaning up after
1999, was the last "true" Glastonbury year.
Good days indeed, my Wife & I spent our Honeymoon at this one (paid for by the in-laws as we were skint !) Too commercial now, & the bloody BBC are so nauseatingly obsessed with it I can't bear to watch anymore. This was a HOT one too, no rain whatsoever as I recall ~ One nice memory : When Madness were on the 'Pyramid', England were playing Argentina in the infamous 'hand of God' game' at the Mexico World Cup & Suggs clearly didn't want to be there, as he kept giving the crowd updates in-between songs (& I had a transistor radio to one ear throughout the entire gig/game !!!)
Before the drug apocalypse. Lots of ice cream. Everyone seems so sensible then 😂 God bless them. God bless us all 🤍🙏
All the people in this video are pensioners today and probably still picking the music that's played on BBC 6Music
yeah... :)
I remember the Woodentops, blew my mind, also the Cure of course, forked lightning as a backdrop, me peaking on microdots, what a time to be young 🙂
i was there ....somewhere
This before Emily got her hands on the festival. Great times.
What a great video. No mobile phones, no media, no fancy clothes. I bet the atmosphere was amazing.
I was there, bitter sweet watching that. It's all turned to shit now.....
I liked the 'notice board' as a way of communication. I only came across this idea at my local university, and only just before the internet took over.
where is the rainbow tent?
I find it funny in a slightly depressing way that things are invented by ordinary enthusiastic people, and then when it becomes successful. The money people come along, exploit it, ruin it and make it unobtainable for those people.
The ancestor of the crust core.
Yeah 2024 and it's all gone to sh1t! Ha! Let's keep the vibes high and get back to being authentic.
Like most people here i was on the dole and a glasto ticket cost just less than a weeks hand out, so that was groovy, met all my scruffy friends there and a few new ones too, managed to bump into Nik (groove groove) Turner he wandered away smoking the massive spliff i had just built. Any one remember the shouts of 'Half a Mix' from the Chillum tribe? Too many good little stories to recount...

Thanks, I've added the set list to the description.
Could fancy myself being there and then heading across to the rest of Europe for travels. Having the World Cup in the background of it all. Sadly, those days and the Europe I crave to explore are well gone.
When Glastonbury was Glastonbury 👍🏼 Not now.😢
More like Twatstonbury nowadays ha, haar?!
Amazing footage. I went in 1987 and remember riding our motorbikes all around the festival. Much better than what it has now become!
The days ehen you could squat a pitch and set up an unofficial bar and cafe. And sell all drugs openly . And not be surrounded by twats

When it was all about the music
This bought back a lot of fond memories. In the 80's we would save as much of our Dole money as we could in the winter months and then spend our summers travelling to different festivals. In June we had the best times at Glastonbury during this era, come rain or shine, and then we would go on to Stonehenge for for another week or two of fun. We lived on the south coast then and we would pop back to Portsmouth on a Thursday morning to sign on, have a bath, stock up on food & drink etc, and then get back to Henge by the afternoon to mellow out again. I miss those carefree days so much now. Thank you for this. It made me feel very happy ❤
20:00 Madness!! At Glastonbury. Wow who knew. It was more of a camping trip and get together with a musical soundtrack, than the other way around. There was always a surprising amount of regular folk back then, in batwing jumpers and huge 80s hair 😂
They've ruined Glastonbury festival. It's ridiculously too big too expensive now and everything is controlled.
Excellent, i remember the Saturday was fever pitch around tea time and then the main event White Lightning and the Cure🩶
Glastonbury now reminds me of a Radio 1 roadshow.
Brilliant footage and people were more happier and friendly those days, not like now rude and unpleasant.
Great to see it way before the beeb ruined it
Before it became the woke pissfest it is now!
my first year there , went for 10 years on and off and have not been back since
Back when fans watched and listened to the artists on stage ,now they point their phones and miss everything and boast about being there and can’t remember a thing until they go home and replay their videos . 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
I remember Third World and The Wailers played
I remember those huge camcorders lol.....
Are there any festivals around that aren’t prohibitively middle class and insufferable? I imagine them all being gentrified balls now but I could be wrong?….
I think there are some, download for example? But never been.
Where was Heigham gate? You didn’t put a street name for it.
Good point! It was on Heigham Street, which became Westwick Street on the city side of the gate. The inner ring road cut the direct link, the actual gate would have been where Westwick Street joins the southbound side of Barn Road.
Proper festival as a local I still disagree with the name glastonbury it's Pilton. The festival needs to go back to this. No phones no fake tan and fake people with white socks and shoes. Everyone being their own self not being judged, bring it back 😢
Soda Stereo?
Almost everyone was slim.
