Working?

[SuperDaisy]

I am officially crew. But I am not doing anything except decorating a wall on Monday. I will make sure it is beautiful, to earn my keep.

Yeah.....on pyramid stage at 10.00 on Saturday. Now how do those chords go again.......

I'm liking the look of the Shangri La, 3 x 6 hour shifts and especially liking the look of the midnight til 6:00 slot.

It beats the 8 or 10 hour shift patterns of security and the 6 x 4 hour shifts of the dance village.

Working the festival is a very good way to do the festival; meeting people and getting involved.

Hey, The night shifts are really good in Shangri-La (I can't speak of TC but I've heard its even better) loads of bands and people partying looong into the night, much better than the afternoon shifts (dead as a dormouse), and it mean you can sleep in the morn, party in the afternoon/evening, then work in the night/morning

and the evening shifts are also really good (the 6pm-midnight)

The 6 hour shifts are kinda long, and your glad their over when they are, but their definitely worth the ticket, and its brilliant to see all the bands, I was in the security trench at the front of the secret Madness/Fat Boy Slim gigs in '07

It's basically helping bands load their gear on and off. It's pretty easy though because a lot of the bands have their own crew with them.

I did it last year as well as part of a performance course im doing at college.

How do you go about applying to be stage crew? would love to do that...

midnight til 6am are my fav shifts lol (then again i'm a fire steward in Shangri-La so its a bit more lively than the campsite i guess )

I am a manager at the bar in Shangri-La! Really great fun to be had working up there, lots of crazy loons about to while away the hours I wouldn't have it any other way!

Come find me!

washing up, general dogsbody in the Crew Catering tent up near the farm. Its staffed mainly by paid staff, but a friend is helping organise it so a few of us are providing extra help on the key days in return for our tickets. 2 x 6 hour shifts each, mine are 1130-1730 on Friday and Monday, so don't really eat into core festie time, and should be in one piece by 1130, or at least together enough to do the work required - hard work but shouldnt need to think too much

Working for Worthy FM again this year, lots of work but hugely fun. Been too many times to find just being a punter without anything to do on site that fun. The sunday/monday/ tuesday before anyone turns up are amazing too. Planning my shows now, hoping people will dig what i'm gonna play on them. 36 hours and i'll be on site!
