Commitment!
In June 2004 I had the chance to go to Glastonbury for 'free' if I 'donated' a little time each day as a 'Fire Steward' for the Acoustic Stage/Tent Team. This meant 'working' for four hours per day with my friends to be alert to potential fire hazards.
As you can see it rained a lot - someone should have given God a bright pink tabbard with some reflective strips that weekend. He did a great job for us on the fire hazard prevention front.
In return for our 'labours' - we got free entry, access to the only 24 hour bar on the site, a secure camp-site with our own toilet and shower block, two meals per day, endless tea/coffee/water and a pair of earplugs!! Fantastic it was - mud and all!!!!
Some of the people playing that year - Muse, Snow Patrol, Keane, Goldfrapp, Paul McCartney, Ocean Colour Scene, Glen Tilbrook (who also came and did a live impromptu set at the bar afterwards...) and on Sunday morning a rousing operatic rendition of 'Ride of the Valkyries'... Who'd have thought!!!
Sadly, we couldn't get tickets this year - but there'll be a chance to go back I'm sure.
