"A special holiday event from ENTS." Joint bill with The Strawbs.
Poster announcing the show at the Principal Edwards Magic Theatre, Sheffield, on Saturday 23 May 1970.
This is the only time I have seen the Witchseason logo used in such a prominent way.
Poster supplied by Tony Fletcher, who explains the ENTS on the poster is Sheffield Uni entertainments, that is the students who organised the concert.

Rather odd find

coverWhile searching for an old concert in Barnstaple, I stumbled upon a remark by DJ Wendy May: "After extensive touring and some John Peel sessions they eventually signed to Phonogram and made an album in 85, which featured the legendary John Martyn on guitar." She is referring to a band called the Boothill Foot-Tappers. They made exactly one album that surfaced October 1985: Ain't That Far From Boothill. It was released by Mercury (MERH 76) and John is indeed credited for Guitars on a track called Stand Or Fall (side B, track #3).
No idea why this track was never mentioned in the older discographies before. It has been included here in the Collaborations section and I also found a review.

GOOD TIME AT MAYNE HALL

Few people see the ashes of total and utter chaos from which the phoenix that is a concert arises. On Sunday, 21st August I was privileged enough to witness this miracle. The concert was the Jansch / Martyn configuration with the local support of Dodsworth and Sullivan.
