Discription:
B/W photo's from the late 1960's.
I got a camera for my 14th birthday in 1966!, it cost my dad £7.
I took these photo's with it and recently scanned the negatives.
The electric guitar cost £7.50, a hofner something!
The portraits are of me, my dad and friends, the landscape is Bromsgrove in the late 60's.
The festival photo's are of the Bath blues festival of 1969, the band on the flimsy little stage is Led Zeppelin just before they became discovered nationally, the reaction of the crowd was one of stunned disbelief and when Rob Plant started screaming about his lemon juice running down his leg it turned to one of mild embarrassment!
everyone went dead quiet!
The pic at the end is me in 1971 when I was 21.
The music is from the youtube music library, I chose it because it's the same length as the video and all the other options were complete rubbish!
