Tractor
Deeply Vale (Festival)
1977

this is the second year of Deeply Vale 1977 and Pegasus featured Andy McCluskey soon to form OMD . Frogbox featured future music journalist Nigel Lord on drums, Nick Ashworth/Nicky Smith on bass and Johnny Sax Wolfenden. Movement Banned contained Rev Mike Huck and Mick Spratt who both went on to form Wigwam Acoustics - This year 1977 the PA was Mitrex Wigwam and Tractor Music combined as most big festivals 77 to 79 were. The Drones played this year but not shown on the poster- they played the previous year as Rockslide. Nirvana featured blind guitar and keyboard legend the late lamented Tony Crabtree

“Very sorry to hear that Tony Crabtree died. When I bought my first amp from you (?) at Tractor Music ( an Intermusic Imp ) Tony happened to be in the shop and gave it a good blasting for me. I remember seeing him with Tractor ( the band ) at the Tech. I posted the flyer for this the other day. I have a copy of his single.”

Intermusic Imp made by the people that made MM mixers- we had an Intermusic demo night at Kimgsway hotel Rochdale with two members of Curved Air- who were split up back then but are back together now.”

“Was the last festival in 79 ? because i remember driving to a gathering in about 82 or 83 to see a motley collection of groups and thinking it was Deeply Vale. It was full of bikers and mainly Here and Now types Help!!”

“the last good festival in the actual valley that was deeply vale was 1979- ref your Help comment - on the other hand Here and Nowi introduced The Fall and Graham Massey and Alternative TV to wider audiences by their free indoor gigs and appearances at Deeply Vale.. Without Here and Now introducing The Fall at their free gigs then they would not have had the break they needed to get to wider audiences same with Graham Massey and Danny and the Dressmakers - the idea of Deeply Vale 76 to 79 like all festivals was to introduce the audience to a wider musical palete”

“Thanks for that, i asked for help because i didnt know if it was still classed as a DV festival. Icouldnt agree more about Here and Now. As youngsters listening to and going to see mostly punk bands we always had a soft spot for them. The dj played Floating Anarchy at Strummercamp this weekend, brought back some good memories.”

“I was a friend of Tony Crabtree or Tony Scott as he was known then and would love to know if there is a grave I can visit. Does anyone know if tony was buried or cremated and if he was buried where ?. Sad loss, great player and great guy. Thanks. Eddy.”
