I remember taking some of the still photos in this vid in 1969, esp. the ones of Dave crossing the bridge to Eel Pie Island, one of Lorna with a flower, and many of the hotel. Don't know what happened to my old camera - someone must have nicked it for food.
hi Chris,
Ron has just reposted a slightly edited version of his film and also made it full-size (so too big to attach to an email) -

along with the following text -
"THIS VIDEO IS NOT MINE IT WAS PUT TOGETHER BY ME AND MY 12 yr old SON ..It was made by us for THE EEL PIE ISLANDERS and THE GROSVENOR ROAD GROUPS and so it is owned by them for there Historical use ..... Hi every one I have re adjusted the videos ..there was only a couple of hic cups and no complaints what so ever ...the time/locations were not quite right for what was needed ...and just to set the record straight these are not my snap shots and neither is the music lol ..I chose the song by Sandy Denny (born in Kingston) and The Fairport Convention because it seemed to fit so well with those far off days of Joss sticks ..Hair 'n' Hash ....and I tried to get the snap shots to fit to the tune as much as possible ....The second instrumental is a variant of the first song ..I chose that because of the laid back ..slightly chilled but still aware guitar work .. again that seemed to fit with the mood of the times and places that we all once knew and possibly loved . Sadly some of the people in the photos are no longer with us (RIP) but will no doubt always be remembered with love and a smile ...x !"
