Frederick (Freddy) Bannister was a major UK music
promoter during the 1960s and 1970s. He handled the European tours
of most of the big acts from America at the time, as well as organising
some of the biggest festivals - Bath, Lincoln, Knebworth - in the
UK. He promoted the 1970s tours in the UK by Captain Beefheart
and the Magic Band. And he must be in all Beefheart fans' debt for
getting Don back performing by offering him a gig at the 1975 Knebworth
Festival. This book of reminiscences of his career is a fascinating
read that includes a number of Beefheart stories. The book illustrated is the much more affordable paperback
version that combines the text from the books included in the very
expensive collectors' item-laden commemorative
Bath Festivals and Knebworth Festivals box sets. |
