GlasDenbury Music and Arts Festival

From 2012 - 2019 I founded and directed the 2 day award winning Glas-Denbury in Devon, a family friendly festival located in fields in between Totnes, Ashburton and Newton Abbot.  We won Visit Devon Gold for Festival of the year many years running as well as Visit South West Silver for Festival of the year.  We hosted camping over the weekend and I produced 7 stages full of music, poetry, entertainment and workshops and food, drink and immersive experiences galore.  We welcomed over 5000 people and it was a glorious event with artists performing from Martha Reeves and the Vandellas to Paul Young, The Blow Monkeys to Basil Brush.
