Description
Writer, journalist David Free shares memories of his many visits to the northern rivers and Bluesfest. A truly great event with an international reputation, David got to see Bob Dylan, REM, BB King, Greg Allman, Buddy Guy, Rodriguez, Dr John, Toto, Tim Rogers breaking down while singing Paragon Cafe, Paul Simon singing The Sound of Silence and having to choose between seeing Iggy Pop and Robert Plant. David shares his favourite memories, including catching the bus from Bangalow, turning up on the first day and having the wrist-band attached, seeking out his favourite souvlaki, the mostly beautiful weather...and feeling the phantom wristband for days after.
