gooner1990 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 1 hour ago, jfaragher said: So - I'm certain, though it may just be a false memory, that the Jazz World Stage (as it was) pointed much more southerly in the 90s, almost directly towards the row of shops etc that included in the Blue Moon Cafe / towards the junction where the Tiny Tea Tent was. This http://www.webm8.co.uk/riddler/flyers/glastonbury/0024.html seems to suggest this was the case. Amazing how much smaller the site was back in 1999. Car parking where Arcadia is now seems very odd! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barneym Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I can’t see how WH can face that way without losing lots of capacity as the bars and food stools with the path on the right as you look at the stage would be in the way. I’m not convinced this is correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why you have to commit the entire map to memory now, and conduct multiple recall tests in the next 10 or so weeks, preferably when spangled. It’ll pay dividends.

There were massive problems with the sound the last couple of years if you were in the wrong place. Stand in the right place and it was utterly wonderful. Didn't they originally rotate it a couple of years ago to avoid sound bleed in the GreenFields and provide a bit more space backstage? Is it essentially back to where it was before the rotation? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

found home in 2009 Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 is the comedy tent not labelled, or has it been moved, or am I just an idiot? Could be latter. Used to like getting a cocktail from the place next to cabaret theatre then going into comedy tent to chill for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think I've ever been in but it's all a blur when I get in the South East Corner. I loved the novelty of edging along underneath the waterfall to get in. Thought it was pretty rubbish once I was in, but was good fun getting in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory there has been one there for a couple of years, either much smaller than the main one or just a power bar exchange point as suggested above. On a separate note, was Love Bullets marked up previously or are we to assume this may have moved from the Glade area?

chazwwe Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 Curious quick question as I know these get asked a lot. Have camped a lot on the Pyramid side/john peel side. Am thinking about Rivermead/Bushy, how quick do those fill up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bushy is great (and my current favourite, will be there this year) but it's not that much closer to the action, aside from Silver Hayes and John Peel. I don't mind that, though - that's what makes it quieter and fill up slower. The walk back is quite pleasant too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted April 16, 2019 Report Share Posted April 16, 2019 I might have to rethink my camping ground this year if the pier really is somehow over Pennards. I don't find it too noisy normally (by the time in my tent I tend to be tired enough to sleep through most things) but I certainly wouldn't want it any noisier or more crowded. It's actually quite a relaxed field once you're in the middle of it because there's no need for any through traffic unless you're camping there. The top (Park through to Stone Circle) and bottom (Arcadia through to Glade) get busy, but in the middle and going up and down it's not too bad at all. The pier could mess with that.
