    My guess is that it is something to do with the band's bus
   getting trashed by a vicious group of travellers called the
   "Brew Crew" at a free-festival near Brighton in the eighties.
    I gather this is why they haven't played many free-festivals
   since, but I don't know exact details of what happened that
   day.
