Fifty Years Ago Part Eighteen

 Don't remember much about this except playing with a Colt 45 replica. It was great as it had fake bullets you could take in and out of the chamber, unlike the children's cap guns we played with at the time. Researching online I have found an artist called Terence Gilbert who could fit the profile of the 'Terry Gilbat' mentioned here. Born in 1946, which fits with my parents generation, he did commercial illustration before moving on to commisioned paintings in the mid 70s. Is it the same chap? I have no idea but if you fancy a look at some of his work his website is here:

Fifty Years Ago Part Fourteen

That tent was in service until at least 1991 when an old girlfriend and I took it to the Reading Festival for the weekend where Iggy Pop, The Sisters of Mercy and James were headlining the main stage. We also saw Carter USM, Pop Will Eat Itself and a pre superstardom Blur. T'was a fun weekend fuelled by lots of beer!
