Northern Soul Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 Fuck me, I'm only 5 minutes in and she's (Mrs Goode) gone full Daily Mail already. Ha ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Soul Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Soul Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatyeti24 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wooderson Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Crazyfool01 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 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 ?

Keithy Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 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.

gooner1990 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCikrde4Kfl3hu39d4-_zaXg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
