We suppose they think if they spell it with a ‘Y’ more people will come. The second ever concert, this, from 1971, but the first with a pyramid stage, and Bowie, Hawkwind, Joan Baez, Melanie, Fairport Convention and good old Gong on the bill. David Puttnam and laughing Nicholas Roeg are among the fledgling film crew in this Woodstock-style document.

Blue Peter
Thursday, 17.30, CBBCNews this week that Blue Peter are launching a new badge to encourage participation in sport was accompanied in the press release by the more interesting news to us that this programme’s now got a new editor, one Ewan Vinnicombe. We’ll put aside our disappointment at not being headhunted to take the job ourselves and wish him all the best, although research suggests he doesn’t appear to be on Twitter, thus seemingly preventing us from being able to bend his ear and directly influence Blue Peter policy. Meanwhile, last week’s episode came in its entirety from the garden, showing off that it’s quite a versatile space and, despite the fact there’s a tram stop right next to it and a tram appeared to arrive during the programme, is actually quite quiet. The tranquillity of Salford, there.
