Very early Glastos

I dunno.. I can ask the woman at work if Glasto '72 had a fence around it.


Eta - then again, as Will, will tell you - it was a free festival in 1972

1970 : Organised by Michael Eavis. £1= in, plus you got free milk. I don't think any fences were there beyond what already went round the farm ...

1971 : Michael Eavis took a back seat and in fact stayed away from the farm for ages around the fest ... organised by others with some richkid money circulating. No fence, free in. This was the classic ultra hippy free festival of Glasto lore, about four times as big as the previous year ...

1972 :Imaginary festival year at Worthy Farm ... :p

Next one wasn't til ...

1978 -- Travellers Free Festival, entirely unofficial, free in and no fence ... apparantly JessieDog was there in his vehicle, that year! :eek:

After 1979 it started to sell out and get commercial and corporate ... :p
 
1972 A small free festival with Hawkwind performing.

I will check with the old hippie tomorrow.. either way 71/72 it explains alot. :mad:
 
Yes - and tonight we have gained clarification that paying fences do exist with no fences.

Hurrah!!!!

:)
 
okay!!!

We have gained clarification that festivals without fences exist where you have to pay to go in !!

:)
 
I must at least give you credit for not editing Hollis... :)




.....for fuck all else :rolleyes: :( ....but for refraining from editing your idiotic mistake, for sure. :cool:








Goodnight now. :mad:

not really - probably the biggest non corporate free festival in the country, and the crew who run it that I've met definately aren't of the hooray henry variety.

not been though so i'll leave those what have to comment further.

*slaps self round the head*

sorry just realised you were on about burning man not strawberry fayre.

been battering my head sorting the poster out for a festival that definately does have a fence round it, one with dogs and take no shit security round the fence, and lovely fluffy security inside, and one that I'll personally chuck you back over the fence of if you come fence jumping at:p ;)
 
thimbleberry festival didn't have a fence round it til last year, and i think the first time they went to put the fence up they were running on hippy time so it was more like they were trying to stop us escaping than stop anyone getting in...

That's right mate, you're names not on the list so yer not getting in:D . Mind you, you could probably sneak into the after party in Vegas. They let anybody into Vegas.
Never mind, I've just remembered you're a Spuds fan.Who needs the States when you've got such delights as Bratislava, Dnipro and Grozny for that UEFA/Inter-Toto qualifying Shield thingy:p
