EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by David White, we are transported back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Reading Pop Festival in August 1973. Two teenage girls, Sharon Edgell and Anne Goddard, both aged 16, eagerly set up their tent at the beginning of the festival. The image captures a moment of excitement and anticipation as they embark on an unforgettable experience. Dressed in typical fashion of the era, with flowing skirts and flower crowns adorning their heads, these young women embody the spirit of hippy culture that permeated music festivals during this time. Their smiles radiate pure joy as they work together to assemble their temporary home amidst a sea of tents. This photograph not only showcases youthful exuberance but also highlights the power of friendship and teamwork among teenagers. As they navigate through unfamiliar territory, Sharon and Anne rely on each other for support and guidance.

It serves as a poignant reminder of how music festivals have always been spaces where young people can come together to celebrate their shared love for music and forge lasting friendships. David White's snapshot encapsulates an era defined by its rebellious spirit, artistic expression, and camaraderie among youth.
