Fact #65977

When:

Short story:

Bob Dylan plays his first major UK show, at The Royal Festival Hall, London.

Full article:

Martin Carthy (folk singer) : Dylan played the most amazing concert. He sang Hattie Carroll and I was scared for life. I couldn't believe that a song telling a story could be that powerful. It drew me into narrative songs.

Julie Felix (folk singer) : I met Bob Dylan at his concert at the Royal Festival Hall, I went to a party afterwards and had a lovely chat with him. He was speaking in poetry. It was quite extraordinary. I think he was probably high on something, or maybe not. He was just very wired. I spoke to him and he said, 'I heard about you'. And he said he was going to send me some songs and I never did get the songs but he had been touring and he had seen some of my posters around.
