Aside from an electric storm during The Cure’s headline set, Glastonbury 1986 was a hot and dusty one. Other performers on the original pyramid stage included The Housemartins, The Pogues, Madness and The Waterboys. Gil Scott-Heron, Half-man, half-biscuit and England losing to Argentina in the World Cup Quarter Finals.

Rab remembers “After a fraught year of basic college in Edinburgh at the age of 19, my friend Kathleen suggested we go to Glastonbury. So we hitched and made it in 12hrs, sleeping one night on the side of the motorway under a tarp with a hippy guy and his dog. We arrived without a tent, but one was provided instantly. I photographed several bands while on mushroom tea, only to find out later that I had no film in my camera! I met Tim and became friends. We communicated for 25 years afterward. I also met Danny from Manchester, who has also become a lifelong friend. It took me three days to hitch back to Edinburgh.”
