I think the standard of the merch is a huge missed opportunity on the festival’s part. It really could be making them a lot more cash, especially during the ‘off season’ ie the other 51 weeks.

As colourful as the Stanley Donwood designs (and those before them) are, they're very repetitive. Would like to see a few more contemporary designs thrown in there. Crazy, ten Glastonburys and not once have I wanted to buy a t-shirt, hoodie, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) i work in mental health, helping organise housing etc for detained and informal MH patients in hospital - so i suppose my job skills could be used in collecting together all the broken souls after the festival and despatching them safely back to their home boroughs for recuperative naps 😄 i've often thought about volunteering for FMS but i'll be honest, a weekend off work spent dealing with drug-induced psychosis is not my idea of fun, get me by a gate and get me checking passes for oxfam!

incident Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Not massively related to my day job, but I've long since felt that the whole credentials system needs a massive overhaul (pretty much a rebuild from scratch), and that I could put together something that works better. Problem is, and I suspect the reason nobody has done so to date, is that to do so would need proper authority to implement and force everyone to stick to the structure. Most of the reason it's such a mess at the moment is the amount of areas that have ben given freedom to do something slightly different to the "standard". Or even entirely different. All of which makes it incredibly difficult to keep track of anything. Whereas I can fully admit I'd be shit at booking. You'd get my favourites, spread around whichever stage I wanted to see them on, and fuck the rest of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) Well I work for a brewery so my job would be to sort out the bars - some will remain untouched - but the ones with Carlsberg, Tuborg and Somersby will be getting changed that's for sure. 1 hour ago, Mr Boo said: Wine taster or if this needs to be a senior post - Alcoholic drinks quality assurance manager Happy to work together on this and get drunk test the beers professionally in the lead up to the festival.

Mark E. Spliff Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 Artist liaison on a smaller stage with an interesting combination of music, spoken word and comedy. The advantage of this sort of stage is that there are plenty of interesting acts hanging around and on stage, without any primadonnas or industry hangers-on. Plus you have the key to the rider store and artists often don't drink all their booze, so you're never short and can host a pretty big party at the end.

clarkete Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 During one festival about thirty years ago I remember us being sent in an Escort van to deliver a fridge behind pyramid. Nothing discrete like back routes, but through market etc. First time I went I was wandering through cinema tent with a bread basket offering stoned people a cheese roll for fifty p or three for a quid.

Leyrulion Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 It'd probably be trying to get the area owners to fill in risk assessments properly and working with a lawyer to make sure we'd handed over the appropriate controls.

Scrump Posted December 7, 2022 Report Share Posted December 7, 2022 I'd go for being the dude that drives ME around the site. Just watching the joy his presence spreads would be ace! Plus you'd get some proper credentials and I bet his bed times fairly early these days so you'd clock off at a reasonable hour😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
