Just found this, worth a watch with a brew!

Fuck me, I'm only 5 minutes in and she's (Mrs Goode) gone full Daily Mail already. Ha ha ha. 

[Northern Soul]

I have just watched that in its entirety now, in work on nights. While there are some, erm, interesting statements:

The first crack to be sold in the UK was actually sold at the festival. Who knew?

One in ever 100 attendees is a drug dealer. Really?

There are however some genuine gripes raised by the locals that Michael does his best to alleviate. All in all though it's a very interesting watch and a good snapshot as to what things were like back in the early 90's.

From an article in the Graun in 2010:

Quote

Ann Goode's cross still overlooks the festival site. Her daughter, Vivien, says: "For all it is better run and controlled, I still say the site build and strip-down still takes too long and the environmental cost is too big." Could she ever learn to love the festival? "No," she replies. "I don't think I could say that."

And yet, this year she is allowing private camping on her land for the first time. She needs a new roof, she explains.

I wonder what she's up to these days, if she's still there?

[Northern Soul]

Looking at where that cross is, in relation to the site, looks pretty much in the area where "Land and Sky" have their site. I wonder if it's the Goode's land it's on?

I camped in that field with the cross a couple of times.  It is where Tangerine Fields was in 2011 & 2013 (not sure if they're still in the same field).  I have a picture somewhere.

Just finished  watching this myself was going to come on here asking what become of mrs goode hoping she became part of the festival. Apparently not ? nice to see mr eavis defend himself tho.

Was the relationship ever healed?

Anne died in 2004. Has been discussed on this forum before. Her daughter has been profiting from their proximity to the festival for years. Super documentary.

How has she profited? Renting fields for camping?

[Gnomicide]

The cross is still there, you could see it on @Wickedfaerie's panoramic photo's.

Yes.

Anyone pronouncing ‘occult’ as ‘occ-ult’ as opposed ‘o-cult’ IS Satan.

To Tangerine Fields....they do try to promote their Christian values however as there is a small barn set out as a makeshift chapel at the bottom of the field with the cross where they have a Sunday service for any campers who fancy it.

A good watch cheers ... its good to get some a different perspective of it ...we do view it through rose tinted spectacles at times ... although some of the issues are interesting :) which farmer was it that a few years ago put up some boards on the approach to the west car parks ?

It's a really interesting snapshot of a different era. It probably captures the end of one era with travellers stopped from getting onsite and the start of the mid 90's 'mass fence hopping' era culminating in 2000 and the end of that era.

With hindsight, you can see the seeds of 2000 in the video. They passingly refer to tunneling under the fence and Eavis referring to them as 'entrepreneurs' charging 20 quid and they never really got to grips with it. Would have been interesting if they'd done another documentary in 99/2000 when the fencejumping was out of control. That must have been a difficult time for the locals.

Have watched it a couple of times before, but only ever seen it in parts not full video before.

 

Like others say interesting to see how the festival was viewed (especially locals) some 25 years ago and nothing like it is these days!

Now the only chaos is people trying to get tickets on their computer!

Aye but, although interesting, that was a bit of a BBC puffpiece about him and the history of the festival rather than what CH4 did over several episodes about the village and locals. 

Also available here http://www.agbfilms.co.uk/productions/glastonburyman.html as the YouTube one is blocked in the UK

This guy recently uploaded all of the 1998 BBC coverage (listened to a lot of it at work over the summer!)

Within that there are a lot of 'glastonbury shorts' which were made by video nation, features emily eavis, locals, people working at the festival and punters. I found them quite interesting!
