From GG HQ
16 days and counting...!!!
HOT PRESS
Tickets: Live-in vehicle passes sold out, BUT we've managed to access a small additional area on site for campervans, so have released another batch of tickets which are going very fast indeed. If you want one of these, please don't delay! Same goes for dog tickets.
Free stuff! We're loving Continental Drifts and GLOBAL LOCAL; in solidarity with GG they're offering a fab free CD for everyone who orders and pays for their tickets between now and midnight on July 16.
More acts & venues:
Late one Glastonbury Festival night we met Kangaroo Moon in Toad Hall... long story short, all were keen they play GG's Floating Lotus stage on Friday, just before Nik Turner and Paradise 9. Perfect!
We're also very pleased indeed that the Artist Taxi Driver will be our artist-in-residence at The 99% Bar. For righteous rants and political banner-making (in place of karaoke and darts), this is the local to pop in to.
One of our favourite rabble-rousers is Cosmo, "the one man anarcho-folk-punk-hiphop phenomenon". He'll be raising laughs and getting passionate about justice with Radical Wales and on the Raconteurs' Stage.
The Nosmo Kings Youth Space is a new emporium of experimentation, music, arts and dance. Expect skillshares in self defence, vehicle maintenance, songwriting and solar technology; discussions on drugs, sexuality and equality; music in the evenings and chance to have a go on the Rubbish DJs 12-volt rig.
THE HILL VILLAGE
On the ridge between Stone Circle and Green Markets, we're building a Hill Village filled with quirky hangouts and education with an exotic edge. Chill, chant, laugh and explore in the Radical Cinema, Vamos Art Studio, Kill or Cure Caravan, Krishna Temple, Astrologers' Camp, Soular Shack and SAM's Magic Hat Sauna.
There'll be storytelling and creative writing with Wild Writes, films and meet-the-director discussions with Reel News, plus herb workshops and china teapots at Sensory Solutions (beware the Witches have flying ointment but no Plan B). Or just steam, and dream...
Vamos Travelling Art Studio. Grand Auction 3pm Sun.
JAM-PACKED SUNDAY
The Poetry Slam kicks off at 11am, hosted by Marcus Moore; at just 3 minutes per poem and no messing about, it'll be fast and furious, funny and gutsy.
Steph and Adam would like to invite everyone to their Handfasting in the Faerie Glade, 1.30pm Sunday.
Then at 3pm it's the Grand Art Auction at Vamos Travelling Studio in the Hill Village, followed at 4.30pm by the Anarchists' Ceilidh with The Wierdstring Band on Kaplick Solar Stage beside the mansion ruins.
Plus - on Sunday as every day - there'll be crafts, campaigns, talks, skillshares, kids' stuff, live bands, djs, cabaret, healing sessions and spontaneous things...
PERMACULTURE GARDEN
It's growing...!
A beautiful, productive and informative zone filled with plants, structures, tools for living sustainably and a temporary permaculture community, where you can find out "What IS Permaculture?" Also: make goats' cheese, share radical parenting tales, discuss birth and death, and learn how to preserve food naturally.
SPEAKERS' FORUM
Latest line up additions include Jamie Kelsey Fry on the Talk Fracking campaign, Tamasin Cave from Spinwatch and Hugh Warwick's Love and Nature.
Reclaim The Power's Action Camp will be introduced by Ewa Jasiewicz, an activist and journalist involved with No Dash for Gas and Fuel Poverty Action. The RTP Camp will be held 14-20 August; there'll be more info and direct action training in our Campaigns field.
