Wasn’t sure where to put this…interesting segment from Newsnight during the 1997 festival about the direction the festival was heading….

I hate when people have attitudes like the levers did, on one hand I understand where they come from however it comes across as quite douchy.

Also Micheal was spot on, people forget the counter culture in the 60/70s was mostly rich hippie's, poor people couldn't really afford to be part of it. 

So yeah while it was free back then it was obviously funded somehow.

I personally feel like the festival goes from strength to strength each year.
