Wonder what would change so drastically or happen that they would leave just like that!

[eFestivals]

looks like Paul Ludford (the guy who took over as licencee from Melvin) has also gone .... tho not entirely sure about that.

Any idea what's behind it Neil? I didn't realise there were any tensions.

[Gnomicide]

Would this have any impact on anyone already booked? Are the contracts between thye artists and Glastonbury or the artists and Dick Tee's company?

[LondonTom]

O_o trouble in paradise? Or just the natural order of things?

Could be an intresting year then!

[airwaves]

And we punters will see what differences???

Probably none

[A Guy Called Matt]

Change is often a good thing though I agree tha twe, the punter, will probably see no difference.

And we punters will see what differences???

Probably none

i think we will seeing as louis walsh has been approached for the booking role, should be interesting

More work , less money ?

I'm not aware of any tensions, tho they probably exist.

If Ludford has gone, then I'm guessing that's because Eavis feels that the licencee job can now be brought back 'in house'. I'm pretty sure that Michael didn't want it done by 'outsiders' at any point, but that became the only realistic option.

If it has been brought back in house, then I'm guessing that Nick (Emily's hubby) might have taken it on.

I'd guess that Dick Tee's departure is a part of the same change-around in personnel.

But I can only make guesses at this point. It's quite possible that there's other staff I'm not aware of that are able to take over the licencee role.

Could this possibly be the beginning of Emily and Nick taking more control of the Festival and business. Maybe creating their own companies if they are not already set up.

Considering all the new buildings and offices that got built last year on the festival/farm site

Yep, it could be about Emily and Nick having a greater personal involvement.

I'm not sure they'll need to use their own companies for it tho.

for the last 10 years at least, lots of lovely new buildings and facilities for the farm is the norm. It appears to be the case that Michael spends the festival's fee to the farm on the farm.

It's a local festival for local people.

Bit of a shock this one, I know Dick pretty well along with some of his key staff.

Wish him all the best in continuing with the rest of his ventures

[Paul ™]

This always makes me smile when you see him walking about on sites

[guypjfreak]

joking right ???

Dick head on his back and a giant blue cock on his head. Not a good day.

Can't imagine you can put on an event like that every year without some (or loads) of argie-bargie behind the scenes. In fact I bet it's anything other than 'peace and love' at times.

Best not to look behind the veil
