The Foundation Tour 1987

01 Sep 1987

Tour program

The program has 12 pages and is entirely in black and white. It features an itinerary, an anonymous essay Laying the foundations, an illustrated discography, a paragraph on support band Cry No More and another on the available merchandise. Also there's an advert about the Cacophony vinyl rerelease of Live at Leeds. The program carries mainly promo pictures. One interesting picture shows John jamming with Eric Clapton at the Island Birthday party; this must have been the 25th anniversary on July 4th 1987 at Pinewood Studios. The tour lasted through September and October 1987. The title of the album is misspelled Foundation; also the album fails in the discography.

Adam Sweeting sees two seasoned performers back in action in London
Two enduring Celts played in London this week, both Sixties veterans who've survived upheavals of taste and style by sticking doggedly to their own version of events. Van Morrison, withdrawn and uncommunicative, filled the Hammersmith Odeon for a couple of nights, while John Martyn, nonchalantly stoned Glaswegian ex-folk singer, came to the Town & Country Club with his six-piece band to record a live LP.

Twenty Second Cambridge Folk Festival

Last year we had our 21st anniversary and now the Cambridge Folk Festival is heading for its quarter century. I have been associated with it as organiser for the Cambridge City Council for every one of those years - you could say that the Festival and I have, like good wine and good brandy, matured together.
