Short story:

David Bowie plays at the bandstand in Croydon Road Recreation Ground, Beckenham, England, UK, Europe, as part of a free festival designed to raise money for a permanent base for the Beckenham Arts Lab project, which had started life as a folk club in the backroom of the nearby Three Tuns pub. The performance inspires Bowie to compose his song Memory Of A Free Festival.
