Nah. It's the knitting circle, 50 years later.
Almost attended Woodstock, but the bloody car broke down before we left Sudbury, Ontario. Biggest disappointment of my life. As students on a working assignment in Canada, we had zero cash to fix the bloody car. A month later, my mate (best man at my wedding) dumped the vehicle in New York.

It was a fantastic day, I got a tour of each of the studios with a guy who gave us details of which studio had been used to record each of The Beatles biggest hits etc, then had a meal in the restaurant they've got in the basement (it's massive, way bigger than it looks from the front).

Sadly, when it came to the detail of the deal on offer, they wanted a fortune in guaranteed royalties and I couldn't use anything Beatles related, the only thing I was actually allowed to use, was this...
