Pete Atkin busking




General views of the Millennium Gardens showing the giant 'feather' which dominates the scene, with the 'new' bridge in the background (this bridge replaced the old chain ferry or 'Floating Bridge' which, together with its preceding rowboat operation, features in many local songs).

Sail Training Ship Prince William on Southampton Docks at the time of a sing aboard the neighbouring Jubilee Sailing Trust's Lord Nelson, which took place a couple of weeks before the Festival and involved some of the festivalgoers.

Above and below: the Festival itself at Woolston Community Centre - Wickham Morris with a 'borrowed' member of Southern Lights!




Two members of Devil's Jumps (all that could be mustered at the very short notice available after the withdrawal of another display team, but putting on a valiant and enjoyable show)
