This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Isle of Wight festival, widely acknowledged as Europe’s equivalent of Woodstock. The historic lineup in 1970 included Jimi Hendrix, The Who, The Doors, Joni Mitchell, Supertramp, Leonard Cohen, Joan Baez, Chicago, Procol Harum and over 600,000 people. The Pretty Things returned to the festival over the weekend, having played at the very first festival. Were you there and have memories of those times?
