Johns  1st year at crewing Glastonbury he worked on the market gates this year which takes a cool and calm head especially on the night shift.

Glastonbury Crew Picks (PT 1)



Well I did not get this together do it live on site. The computer speed was far too slow it would have taken forever. I would have missed every think I am sure you would not have wished that on me.  Any way home now so let see some choices.

Going to start with Robbie Swang ……. Swang is a part of Mary Macs… Meet and Greet Crew…….A crew ran by Mary for 15 years . As a link between the arriving traders and their market managers. But as you can imagine this crew deal with every think Circus’ Stages ‘Theatre’ Cabaret ‘ it is to stop the site turning into a sugar cube with ants swarming all over it . In other words utter chaos . Every one to get where they need to be as quick as poss so we can start the party . Had the pleasure of managing Swangs band SWANG PARTY IN LATE 80S still one of the best bands I have ever seen will try and dig some stuff up and put it up  

Robbie Swang  



Next in line is Charlie Miller……Charlie was my old crew boss on the Pyramid throughout the 90s …..He is now running music production at the Green Rooms. Charlie also does a lot of stuff for Children’s World a Glastonbury based children's  charity . Who do shows all over the country in inner city schools. He informed one year that they had do a series of shows in my old school in Walton Liverpool . He also plays gigs around the site with his band the Soul Agents.

My lovely step daughter Roxy has never missed a festival from birth. She is now is fluent in 4 language’s which must come handy with the many traders that come to the festival from all over the world. She is one of the main cogs in J’F & K market office. Graduate from Liverpool Uni just returned from translating roles at the European Parliament in Brussels.
