"Due to an overrun of sets from artists performing before Hendrix, I fell asleep waiting for him to perform. I was then awoken at about 12am by the sound of Hendrix's guitar, it instantly made me wide eyed, i grabbed a friend and we determinedly headed as close to the front as possible. At the front my friends and I took it in turns to share what equipment we had, i took all the cameras and lenses and confidently strolled up to security at the front barriers pretending to be important and was able to photograph Hendrix uninterrupted at the very front."
