EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Reading Folk Festival in June 1971. The backstage scene captures a moment of tranquility amidst the bustling energy of the event. Mike Chapman, a prominent figure in folk music at that time, is seen accompanied by his loyal companion Arthur, a charming dog who seems to be enjoying the festivities just as much as his owner. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we notice another intriguing presence on the floor. It is none other than singer/songwriter John Martyn, deep in meditation. With his guitar resting beside him and an aura of introspection surrounding him, it's clear that Martyn is finding solace and inspiration amidst the chaos. The image beautifully encapsulates not only the essence of folk music but also highlights its power to unite people from all walks of life – both human and canine alike! The festival serves as a reminder that music has an incredible ability to create connections and foster moments of peace even within such dynamic environments. This photograph transports us back to an era when live performances were cherished experiences shared amongst passionate artists and devoted fans. It invites us to reflect on how these timeless melodies continue to resonate with audiences today while celebrating the enduring bond between humans and their beloved pets.
