Deeply Vale originally a printworks, then a paper mill and then a rival to Glastonbury! Deeply Vale’s first free festival took place, put together in three weeks by a group of friends from Rochdale. From these humble beginnings, the vision grew into a massive gathering of 20,000 by 1978, when the line-up included Misty in Roots , The Ruts, The Out, Here and Now, The Fall, Nik Turner with Sphynx , and Steve Hillage. The unlikely mix of hippies, punks and new-wave actually worked, but due to various problems in 1979, the festival moved site. www.deeplyvale.com
