Ah well. I thought we'd tracked down someone who'd been at Harlow 1974
who said there'd been a power cut. Since that's not on the tape, the
conclusion was that it was 1973.

There was also something about Nik falling off the stage dressed in a
frog costume but I don't remember how that affects the debate.

Never a dull moment...
