ABOUT THESE IMAGES
LOVE SUPREME WAS HELD OVER TWO DAYS IN JULY IN THE GROUNDS OF GLYNDE PLACE, THE FAMILY HOME
OF THE VISCOUNTS HAMPDEN NEAR LEWES IN EAST SUSSEX. IT WAS THE FIRST TIME A MAJOR FESTIVAL HAD
TAKEN PLACE AT GLYNDE AND CONTRARY TO ITS NAME, THE EVENT DREW AN ECLECTIC MUSICAL LINE-UP. I
WAS THERE ON THE SATURDAY, DRAWN BY NILE RODGERS AND BRYAN FERRY. THE FESTIVAL HAD A NICE
RELAXED ATMOSPHERE AND, FOR A FIRST TIME EVENT, WAS VERY WELL-ORGANISED. MY HIGHLIGHTS WERE
64-YEAR-OLD CHARLES BRADLEY, WHO I’D NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE AND YET ANOTHER EFFERVESCENT SET
FROM NILE RODGERS AND CHIC. HEADLINER, BRYAN FERRY, WAS FRANKLY DISAPPOINTING, DEBUTING HIS
BRYAN FERRY ORCHESTRA AND PLAYING TWENTIES STYLE JAZZ VERSIONS OF HIS CLASSICS. FOR ME, IT
WASN’T HIS FINEST HOUR AND, SADLY, MY SHOTS OF HIM WEREN’T THAT GOOD EITHER. HOWEVER, I WAS
MUCH MORE PLEASED WITH THE OTHER IMAGES I GOT AT LOVE SUPREME, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF THE
SCREAMING EAGLE OF SOUL. I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM, TOO.
