They featured works by then-contemporary composers, sponsored by the Clark family, and a wide range of traditional works, from "Everyman" to James Shirley's "Cupid and Death."

Organiser Michael Eavis decided to host the first festival, then called Pilton Festival, after seeing an open-air concert headlined by Led Zeppelin at the 1970 Bath
