That was a trickier one, @Mi-Amigo - not too hot on the British Punk scene in the 70s, it seems - possibly more of a metal-head back then, the local sound crowd were called Stratocaster Disaster Area, says a lot 🤣

Well done all, and your Isle of Wight one fitted the theme to a tee! 😄

The Isle Of Wight Festival is always a sellout @pgn. Both sons have gone there a few times. I doubt the Red Line Ferry service think it's much fun with returning festival goers though...Too much booze added to bouts of sea sickness.

Ps, thanks for a great quiz @Mi-Amigo 😎

[gmarkj]

Happy with that!

Well done everyone, and thanks @Mi-Amigo
