What happens
Glastonbury Fayre is a 1972 documentary film directed by Peter Neal and Nicolas Roeg. It covers the 1971 Glastonbury Festival (then known as the Glastonbury Fayre) which took place on 20 to 24 June 1971 in rural Somerset in England. It was released in May 1972. The film is a mix of performances by musical artists such as Traffic, Fairport Convention, Melanie, Terry Reid, and Arthur Brown, along with extensive footage of the attendees dancing to the music, playing in drum circles, camping out, and otherwise enjoying the festival. It also includes part of a lecture given by Guru Maharaj Ji, referred to in the movie as "Maharishi". It does not feature any footage of David Bowie, who played at dawn, but he is on the soundtrack.
