Frodo Baggins 123rd Birthday Party.

( being a benefit for The Travellers School )

Clyro Court

Hay on Wye.

Powis .

 

9-16-89.

 


    Frodo Baggins Birthday party was the second of two benefit Festivals held at Clyro Court in 1988 and 1989, in aid of the Skool bus, which was a project created by elements in the Traveller community who wished to provide a stable, fun, school environment for traveller children, in 1989, this was a converted truck which had been cleaned up and funded by a group called the Traveller School Charity which had been formed in the late 80s. Because the organisation had charitable status , it was possible to raise funds tax free to keep the vehicle running, and the usual suspects ( Hawkwind - who had also played the 1988 bash ) offered their services to help raise funds.

Wango Rileys served as the main stage and bands also played inside the Clyro Court buildings .
