From young festival goer to London ambulance man, member of festival welfare to photographer, his story moves through the early years of the free festival movement at Windsor, The Stonehenge free festivals, the Battle of the Beanfield, Castlemorton to the environmental movements of today. Tash&#8217;s unequalled archive of photography shows over 4 decades of cultural history. Shared initially as part of the &#8216;virtual premiere&#8217; for Free Party: A Folk History. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqbWQzc0ZsLUczNG9RV0ZROXg0SHdOOWVIR0JlQXxBQ3Jtc0tsT3pxWGdJWDN0bXdCOGpad09uVGRRcDF2YUYteTgwWmxod2NFbmZTTDNVNk9KZmlRQjU1Q1lwS0QzUzQ0dG5fVEV1dUFvNDY4ZGlWdWlqVzJfaFZnOHBTODdWeXAwakNqV1B0M2JpTjZrcVU5b3h1NA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Ffreepartydoc.info%2Fwork&amp;v=rlESKBxQEbY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/freepartydoc.info\/work<\/a> &#8230;.
