URGENT REQUEST: Isle of Wight (1970) photos etc

Post by jarkko »

I am looking for members who have photos of Leonard's Isle of Wight concert in 1970, or other memorabilia (like the ticket, festival booklet, newspaper reviews).
If you know someone who might have this kind of items, please let me know, too!
Looking forward to hearing from you as soon as possible (email me at ja@nebula.fi)

Big size photo of LC by Col Underhill here at the website which collects all IOW 1970 memories: http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/iow1970menu.html (the clean scan is at Flickr streaming by Underhill also: http://www.flickr.com/photos/29980468@N ... 222549341/ )

This site also has the scans of *all* official ads, tickets, posters etc.! plus Underhill's photos of the audience and artists. Also, people's emails with recollections do mention Cohen a lot.

Also, Martin Beek (the artist which work is displayed at The Leonard Cohen Files) has ticket and one newspaper scan at his Flickr account.

There's a permanent exhibition about the Isle of Wight Festivals at Dimbola Lodge (where photographer Julia Margaret Cameron lived). Lots of memorabilia - and there's probably an archive there as well. http://www.dimbola.co.uk/indexb5b6.html ... exhibition
Might be worth investigating.
