Glastonbury

The very first Glastonbury Festival, called The Pilton Festival, took place in 1970. John Peel loved it from the start, often taking his whole family down to the festival with him.

But it was the BBC broadcasts he presented that forever associated him with Glastonbury in the eyes of the British public.

John Peel presented the Glastonbury Festival events on television in between the late 90's and early 00's.
