You do realise that if it wasn't for people like him, and his age group - they tend to help finance, back and organise and host such big events - there would BE no Glastonbury.

here's a bit of knowledge for you both: you might want to wipe the grins off your faces !!

Athelstan Joseph Michael Eavis, CBE (born 17 October 1935), is an English dairy farmer and the founder of the Glastonbury Festival, which takes place on his farm.


Festival
Divorcing from his first wife Ruth in 1964 with whom he had three children, in 1969 Eavis and his second wife Jean Hayball visited the Bath Festival of Blues. Inspired by seeing the performance of Led Zeppelin, they hosted a free festival the following year. This developed into the Glastonbury Festival as it is known today. Jean died in 1999, since then their daughter Emily has taken a more active role in running the event. In common with his mother and his second wife, Eavis remains a regular Methodist chapel-goer. Eavis has since remarried his third wife, Liz.
In 2010, the festival's 40th year, he appeared on the main stage at the Festival, with headline artist Stevie Wonder, to sing the chorus of the latter's "Happy Birthday".
