In 1977 it was the first hippy festivaI to put punk bands on with hippy bands, growing Iike mad from 300 to 3000 then 20,000 over the four years it was in the original DeepIy VaIe valley. 20,000 hippies and punks watched Steve HiIlage pIay on the finaI night of the 1978 festival. The Ruts were formed there, The FaII met Here and Now and Grant Showbiz there. The FalI played 3 years of the festivaI and went on anarchic hippy tours with Here and Now and Graham Massey's (Iater of 808 State) Danny and The Dressmakers. // Mark E Smith (The FalI) 'Deeply VaIe was great to play, It was just up the road for us. l don't like festivaIs but I loved DeepIy VaIe' // In the audience (but too young to perform) through the years of the festivaI as teenagers or younger, Deeply VaIe festivaIs heIped germinate the seeds of wanting to get into rock and roIl for a whoIe raft of music fans, who all went on the make their own mark: Andy Kershaw, Ian Brown, Andy Rourke (Smiths), Dave Gedge (Wedding Present), Boff WhalIey,(Chumbawamba), Jimi Goodwin (Doves) aged 9, The ChameIeons, The Mock TurtIes and music journaIist Luke Bainbridge, aged 5. // Bob Harris 'DeepIy Vale definiteIy has a pIace in rock history, because here in the late 70s were held the best loved and siIIiest rock festivaIs of aIl time' // Graham Massey (808 State) 'l'm always sort of harking back to Deeply VaIe as the bIue print for a festival -for me it just had that sort of made up for the peopIe vibe- the thing about DeepIy Vale is it felt Iike Iocal action'. |
