Celebrating the legendary Woodstock rock festival

Matthews’ Southern Comfort (Remembering Woodstock) are at the Hailsham Pavilion on Friday, August 2 (8pm).

A spokesperson said: “For three weeks in 1970 Matthews’ Southern Comfort topped the UK charts with their version of the song about the legendary rock festival, Woodstock, which attracted an audience of more than 500,000 staged 12 months earlier. The song that carried the festival name had also been recorded by Joni Mitchell and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, and came to define all the idealism of the late-60s hippie movement.”

Expect a set of both old and new songs from the band to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Woodstock festival. Tickets £20. Call 01323 841414 or visit www.hailshampavilion.co.uk.
