Tuesday 28th June: Glastonbury Festival 2016




































Glastonbury 2016 = on which the site was so flooded from rain that the entrances were shut down........ one of the biggest patronised events was a political panel debate regarding the EU referendum on the day of the announcement................. followed by a double rainbow appearing in the sky above the site the next day with nature marking Gay Pride, and honouring Orlando ................. the best sunsets that I can remember ............ Prince and David Bowie tributes at every corner............... Africa Express bringing together the Syrian Orchestra and musicians from Mali to open the main stage on the first day .......... after a video compiled by Portishead for Jo Cox in which her message was immortalised for us all "“We have far more in common than which divides us.”   A very, very surreal and moving year for the memory bank of Glastonbury moments .............. 

(Images include a portrait of Kamasi Washington at the West Holts Stage,  the Guardian bags designed by Craig and Karl, a chicken avoiding the mud in the compost of the Permaculture garden, and a couple getting married in the Healing Fields which was very very cute)
