Glastonbury!



"Are you the fellow that started it all?" is what the Queen asked Michael Eavis when he received a CBE! Well yes he did, back in 1970, the day after Jimmy Hendricks died. Admission was £1, included a free bottle of milk, and 1,500 people attended! On the eve of Glastonbury 2010 I feel sad that I will not be going! It is definitely one of my favourite places in the world, a bubble where rules don't seem to exist and an escape where everybody can loose their inhibitions! I love the photographs here, taken by Elle Dunn, I think they really capture the aura of Glastonbury! Her pictures of Trash City give me happy memories of the last night there, where free bottles of water were given out, drag queens served behind the bar and you could only get into the party if you were wearing a moustache!
