Tried to satisfy too many different people and ended up satisfying no-one. Sh*t gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goose Hall Crew Catering is open from the beginning of June to the middle of July.{ when the festival starts they cater for 900 for each meal } I think it works out at 7 weeks. see http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/site-snaps-tipis-and-tattoos/ as many shots are from Goose Hall. Its one area that I have never been in - the WBC has its own Catering Company and they share a huge tent with the WBC Crew bar where I work.

A friend has got a paid bin painting gig this year (I assume she sold her soul to the devil to get it) and will be on site for a couple of months pre-festival I think!

Can i ask a stupid question? Do the bin people really need to repaint the bins every year? Do the bins not stay painted? I do like the bins, but it feels excessive to have a whole team of people updating them every single year. I don't even varnish my front door every year and that gets used every day. Just to add - Sorry if this sounds like a moan, the bin people do a great job and I love the charity stuff they do with new designs.

Just to add - Sorry if this sounds like a moan, the bin people do a great job and I love the charity stuff they do with new designs. Honestly I'm not sure! As I understand it they pay actual artists to do the 'good' bins which will be at least partly commissioned and are themed to the year (I think). The volunteer bin painters come later and do the rest. It's quite a 'who you know' gig I think and I reckon the bins do get quite a caning- especially in wet years!

In my experience, the first to arrive pitches the tent and then proceeds to drink a load of JD Honey and passes out on the pile of wood chip at Gate D so they can be easily located Edited January 9, 2019 by Sasperella 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
