Newcastle Music Festival 3 August 1969 - A Time of Freedom and Togetherness
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Newcastle Music Festival on a sunny day in August 1969. The story behind this image reveals that there was an abundance of long-haired individuals, so much so that it seemed like there was more hair than grass on the Newcastle Town Moor. Little did they know at the time, but this gathering of around 7,000 music enthusiasts would become known as Toon-stock – Tyneside's answer to Woodstock. The photograph captures a diverse crowd, showcasing both young men and women from various age ranges who came together for a day filled with music, dancing, and pure enjoyment. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of the era; bell-bottom pants, colorful patterns, and flowing dresses are all proudly displayed. Beyond just being a music festival, this event symbolized something greater – it represented freedom and free love. It was an opportunity for people to express themselves through their grooming choices and embrace their hippie lifestyle without judgment or restraint. Looking at this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints transports us back to a time when music had the power to unite people from all walks of life. It serves as a reminder that even in tumultuous times like those in the '60s, moments like these brought joy and harmony into people's lives.
