The Manband at the Buxton Festival 1974

Here’s another fantastic item courtesy of John Bannon – a spread from the 1974 Buxton festival programme. Man played on the first day of the festival, on the 5th of July. Man played just before Mott the Hoople, who were the headliners on the Friday night. The Festival was headlined by Rod Stewart and The Faces on the Saturday night. An advert for the festival is below which shows the full line-up. If you’d like to read more about the Buxton Festivals in the 1970s, visit this site.

Malcolm Morley Manband memory fail!

Hopefully someone can help. I’ve been asked about the poster below (yes, yes, I know the size of the turn-ups on my jeans is extraordinary… I don’t know what I was thinking either!). Where did the poster originate from? I can’t remember whether it came with an LP ~ Rhinos, Winos & Lunatics? But I don’t think so. I vaguely recall the shoot ~ a film set possibly. Anyone know?
