The Gorge - Pilton Party 2004

Pilton Party 2004

Pilton Party is an event thrown by Michael Eavis as a thank you to the village for putting up with Glastonbury Festival. It's only advertised to locals (I'm originally from Somerset, with family and friends still in the area) and the line-up is often kept quiet.

It's like a mini one day festival, although the atmosphere was more akin to Reading - with drunk teenagers everywhere - than Glastonbury. There were no disabled accessible loos which was a bit of a nightmare, but it was a fun evening.

The full size images are around 1.5Mb each, the video clips around 15Mb each.
