We've stirred from our September slumber to discover some fabulous REVIEWS, including:

We need it, it needs you - go and let go! - eFestivals
A Festival of Plenty - Permaculture Magazine
FK Review: Green Gathering 2014 - Festival Kidz

We've more PHOTOS too, thanks to Stefan Handy.

Plus, this fab FILM by Ayesha Jones and Tommy Xiaoji, with Jabba Cartel soundtrack. Jabba Cartel played Floating Lotus on the Friday of GG2014.

If you want to see what else you missed, a copy of the 2014 PROGRAMME is now on our website!

EARLYBIRD TICKETS for 2015...
...have been selling fast - don't delay, they're
just £75 from Bristol Ticket Shop while stocks last.
In 2014 we sold out of live-in vehicle passes, so if you want to be sure of getting one of these for next year - at the earlybird price of £45 - grab one soon.



APOLOGIES...
...to anyone who was disappointed by the GG2014 no-show of Billy Rowan, the Undercover Hippy.
Billy had to cancel a few gigs this summer - he lost his voice, poor lad - but he's all mended now and has promised to come play for us next year, so he'll be our headline act on our opening night "combining intelligent, provocative lyrics with dangerously catchy hooks and a feel good groove" and we're over the moon... Oh Yes, that's the first 2015 line-up announcement!!! 

We'd like to thank Marcus Moore for his fantastic co-ordinating of our new Raconteurs' Stage this year - and reassure him that he won't be railroaded into doing it next year because the amazing Joe Dobraszczyk of Will Tun and the Wasters has picked up the baton!

So that's sneaked in our second line-up announcement, as Joe will of course be bringing the band.
Here's Will Tun and the Wasters on video
(with world record forward-rolling attempt).
