I have belatedly realised that my heroine, Melanie, was at Glastonbury. Here’s a rather shaky clip which shows her on the Spirit of ’71 stage with her son Beau-Jarred on guitar beside her.
She’s a legend. Of course, the song that she is singing here, “What have they done to my song, Ma” turned out to be profoundly prophetic when, a few years later, The Wurzels murdered her beautiful “Brand New Key” and sold the dead body as a recording known as “The Combine Harvester”.
