‘I stopped for tea and helped build pyramid stages’

A person who was driving through the Samarset when he saw a Glstonbury Fair Sine, says that he stopped for a cup of tea before helping to build a pyramid platform.

Brian Johnson, who is now a Waterdian volunteer at the festival, was making his way from Cambridge to Cornwall in 1971 with his girlfriend, when he saw a sign on a tree.

He said: “We thought it could be good to stay for a cup of tea and a bun, but we really help in making pyramid stages first.”

He said that he went down to the qualified farm and Michael Evis’s partner Jean, Jean “a spanner and a pint of milk” to the pair and told them that they could have something “useful” for them.

The first was in September 1970, known as the Glestonebury Festival, known as Pilton Pop, Folk and Blues Festival.

The following year, it was transferred in June to match with the summer solstice and is known as the Glstonbury Fair.

Mr. Johnson told the BBC Radio Summerset that it was “really interesting” to involve the construction of the famous platform and said that he “does not know much about festivals at that time”.

Made from metal and plastic sheets, the platform was deliberately placed on the Glstonebury-Stonenage Lei Line (a network of lines that are asked to connect the sites with spiritual and cultural significance).

He said: “The idea of ​​the pyramid was that it focuses cosmic energy among artists, which I think it is very good and part of it that makes it a prestigious symbol now.”

Waterd Volunteer said that it was on the festival that he met David Bovi, but only caught the last bit of his set, as he had “slept”.

David Bovi’s first presence at the Glestonebury Festival took place on 23 June 1971 at around 5 am.

The Watered has remained a major part of the Glestonbury Festival, a charity partner since 1994.

It supports water and hygiene services on the site, while everyone is worthy of access to clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene while spreading the message.

This year’s festival has revealed a set of poleroid film photos that how to work behind the curtain as a volunteer.

Liz Les and Lucas Myers shared a secret peak in their first innings on Wednesday, with free water and toilets on the site.

Ms. Les described the experience as “really completing”, allowing her to enjoy all festivals, as well as “doing something meaningful”.

This year, Mr. Myrs works voluntarily with the charity for the fourth time, working on the ‘Lu Crew’ to keep more than 3,000 toilets clean.

The 21 -year -old described the team of volunteers as “a big family”.

He said, “Making from other volunteers from all areas of life means that every conversation in the camp is unique, and some of my best times in the festival,” he said.

“I really enjoyed taking photos and catching the moments of volunteers, who were enjoying myself, rolling my sleeves and spreading the important message of WaterAd’s mission – this change begins with clean water and decent toilets.”

Ms. Les worked as a ‘Water Valomers’, which helped the festival-goer to fill the bottles and search for the site for those passing through Gates.

60 -year -old, after the birth of her daughter, has been at every Glastonbury Festival since 1993.

He said, “My favorite thing on the festival voluntarily is meeting all lovely people. Everyone was very happy to chat and join,” he said.

“This is my fourth time and here in a few years I have made some firm, lifetime friends.”
