A thought just occured to me today; I wonder how the resident antiquarians with a deep respect for glastonbury feel about this annual music festival invasion ? do some perhaps feel that such a huge commercialised event is in keeping with the sacredness of this very special place, known as the heart chakra of the earth,. I know glastonbury is considered one of the uks alternative towns with some very cool types living there but do antiquarians- even as music lovers see it as all good ! ,. any thoughts ; | |||

Well the festival's six miles away from Glastonbury, so I can't imagine it's an issue that's worth losing sleep over.

Wouldn't have been a prob if it was six metres away back in its early roots in the seventies (before the circus !) when it was small hippy/folksy scene -proper !

Still, a greater number of people get joy (if not happiness) out of it, being part of the show, which is ageing gently with its performers ;) and Michael Eavis does gives the profits away to charities.....

Funny, some people said that to me when I played Glastonbury a few (ahem) years ago.
