Hi Jerry,

       It was indeed Richmond, (Outer) London. Which is where I'm writing from.
Somewhere I've a couple of photos, one of which is a naked Calvert strutting his
funky stuff. I'm not sure what the date was, though. It was in the park at the
top of the hill, as far as I recall it was just a one-dayer not a festival as
such and there's never been any gigs in the park since, which is a shame coz
it's a great park (about 30,000 acres) and it's well worth a visit around Autumn
when the fungus starts appearing ;->
