WALLY AT GLASTONBURY 1971

In Nic Roegs film of Glastonbury Fayre in 1971, has a wonderful run of scenes where two forms of worship are occuring simultaneously.One a mass chant of eastern origins, the other a roman catholic mass. And there watching the service is a young man we know well. The words of this Sunday morning service, foretold in a language that would soon become a characteristic of his writings.

ANDY ROBERTS recalls an ANDREW KERR story
In his most excellent book ALBION DREAMING

Many clergymen visited the 1971 Glastonbury Fair attracted by this radical youth movement and their alternative brand of spirituality. Among them was the Diocesan youth chaplain from Swindon , who was given some LSD (whether voluntarily or not is unclear. The confused clergyman ended up rushing headlong down the hillside, his cloak flaring like a giant bat behind him. However his christian faith wasn't enough to help him navigate under the onslaught of LSD, and he had to retire to the bad trip tent organised by Release where he was gently talked back down to earth (A Kerr 07)
