Oh yes - Dracfest is one of the highlights in my Festival memories.
Arthur Brown gave an amazing performance and it's such a shame it
was never (to the best of my knowledge) recorded on video.   That
guy has a really powerful stagepresence!      But equally to my
regret he did a surprisingly understated solo performance at
Glastonbury so who can say how he will be feeling at
Canterbury......
