Rewritten Content:
The ‘Secret Lincolnshire’ podcast constitutes a bountiful source of captivating tales from our county, revealing narratives that may have slipped from memory. Among the enlightening accounts is the story of Barbecue 67, a pioneering rock festival that took place in Spalding. It carved a place in history with iconic performances from musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd, setting the groundwork for future British music festivals. Equally compelling is the tale of JFK’s confidential visit to RAF Waddington in 1963, where he undertook a personal journey to pay tribute to his sister Kathleen. Concurrently, the so-named ‘Calendar Boys’ of Lincoln were challenging societal expectations in the 1970s, causing a sensation with their audacious, all-male calendar. Progressing further north, we see Grimsby’s rich past come into focus, casting a spotlight on its Victorian era’s shadowy facets. Lastly, the continuously attractive Chapel Studios in South Thoresby consistently draws notable music acts to its tranquil locale, presenting a sanctuary where rock stars can retreat from their public image. Immerse yourself in these enthralling narratives and more to uncover the hidden histories nestled within Lincolnshire.
