THE EVOLUTION OF GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL

PEACE and love filled the 1980’s Glastonbury fields as relaxed festival goers kicked back and soaked up the atmosphere. Lighting up a campfire and riding a moped through the festival was the norm in the 80’s, as Hertfordshire born Dave Kotula captured in his photographs. Dave says; “I was 18 when I first visited the festival in 1985, and I was there again in 87 and 89, carrying all the idealistic view of youth with me. “This was an opportunity to go to another world, away from the day to day hassles we had from adult society and the authorities.
