Truly Madly Deeply Vale (Original Air Date: 19th Nov 2004 - ITV)
Info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deeply_Vale_Festivals
In the middle of the 70's there was a free festival organised in a small valley near Bury in Lancashire that became known as Deeply Vale. The site was not easy to find but once found it soon became apparent that it was idyllic for the purposes of a multi-day festival and it gained enough recognition to attract the likes of Steve Hillage and Here and Now to play there.
The four summer festivals in the valley between Rochdale and Bury between 1976 and 1979 grew from 300 people in 1976 to 3000 in 1977 and 20,000 in 1978 and 1979.
The Durutti Column played at Deeply Vale in July 1978. Tony Wilson compered the new wave afternoon in a white suit. The Durutti Column featured Vini Reilly, and amongst others, Tony Bowers on bass in a green boiler suit, and Dave Rowbotham on guitar. This was their fourth ever gig. The Fall, a young Mick Hucknell, OMD, Spizz Energy, The Ruts, Misty and the Roots and a whole load more also played.
