Me and my camera in someone else’s field, my festival season, my glastonbury
Glastonbury. Pedestrian Gate A. Wednesday 9am (25.6.14) This is the day before the warm up day of the biggest music festival in the world…no-one used to go to Glasto on the Wednesday, now most people arrive then.
As the entrance fee and attendance has increased year on year out the festival go-ers arrives earlier and earlier to make the most of their £250 tickets and to try and get a half decent spot before the hoardes arrive…this year it seemed everyone had that idea.
We got there at 3am the night before to avoid this situation after some valuable advice to avoid wed morning arrival from the Glasto website..thank god no-one else read it. I think I would have been crying into my wellies had got there with this lot but they didn’t seem too bothered…the sun was shining and a lot were already tucking into their tinnies…yes it was 9am but this is Glastonbury. People start early..and they finish 6 days later.
