Me and my camera on the festival circuit, my adult playground, my glastonbury
Every conceivable genre of music and its corresponding crowd are represented at Glastonbury. Whatever you are, whatever you listen to, you have your own corner. Techno ravers, heavy metallers, retro revivalists, rock bashers, drum & bass nutters, gypsy queens, disco freaks, pop tarts, acoustic airheads, square dancers and everyone in-between are all present and correct (well, not so correct). Despite their apparent differences they all have one thing in common, all they want to do is dance. That is why we are all there. To rock out from dawn till dusk till dawn.
Wherever you go, whatever time of day or night, whether you are at a tent, a main stage, in the middle of a wood, Bez’s acid house or at the Strumpets & Crumpets food stand, there is always dancing. Sometimes there are thousands of people busting their moves, sometimes a few, sometimes just one. But they are always giving it their all. And one dancer at Glasto is worth 50 anywhere else.
Seeing people dance (and dancing myself) is probably my favourite outdoor activity on Earth. It is the ultimate celebration of life and to watch people’s chosen tunes course through them, filling them with energy & expression is just glorious. When you dance to your desired music you feel connected to the inaudible rhythm of the universe. Glastonbury facilitates this better than anywhere else I have ever been.
