Glastonbury40

Went to a brilliant exhibition in Somerset last night. If you are heading that way it's well worth a look. Glastonbury40 celebrates 40 years of Glastonbury Festival by seven Somerset based photographers and is on at the Atkinson Gallery in Street just down the road from Glastonbury itself. It's an amazing retrospective with black and white images of the 70's, with beards, horses and motorbikes up to the past few years with mud fights, crowds and crazy outfits. There's also some tents and straw with screens inside showing different elements of the festival. You can sit back in a camping chair and pretend you're back there drinking cider and watching some great music. The legendary Michael and Emily Eavis were in attendance and it was a lovely Somerset night. Smile. A big congratulations to the talented Anna Barclay and Matt Cardy for putting it all together.
