    Thanks Frenchie, needed to search for that one.

    'The Boy Who Lived' is the title of the first chapter of the first book in which series?

    Free wrote their album Highway after playing there, the title track is to do with the experience I believe. Mungo Jerry also went down well, released In the Summertime a few days before the festival. Were you there? A bit before my time though I was alive!

    edit: or am I barking up the wrong herring?

    okay.....

    Musically speaking, what would you get if you mix a biologist, an artist, a mathematician and an electronics engineer?
