I recently renovated my massage therapy room in my massage practice in York. Although, over the years, I have been gradually making changes to make it more inviting, I recently felt that it was time for a complete overhaul of my massage therapy room. I decided to get the carpet replaced, have the wallpaper taken…

As a massage therapist from York, here are more of my impressions of Solfest… A large element of Solfest is dance. There is a dedicated dance tent in one corner of the arena. It is a large cavernous place with some luminous sculptures shaped like giant vuvuzelas suspended from the ceiling. There are DJs playing…

As a massage therapist from York, here are my impressions of Solfest… The next day I go for a walk, eventually settling to enjoy the good weather in an enclave which has The Love Shack (dance music, going on til 5 in the morning) opposite another marquee calling itself House Of Joy (reggae). They are…

Solfest is tucked away in that rarely visited corner of England: Cumbria. It is a rural county which is stunningly beautiful and very wet. I set off from my massage therapy practice in York, and end up driving through Aspatria (a small town near Carlisle) and turn off down a twisty country road. Every now…

As a massage therapist from York, here are my overall impressions of Glastonbury Festival… Final Impressions I wake up early the next morning. Glastonbury is over and it is a sunny day. I feel happy. By no means have I seen or experienced even a tiny percentage of Glastonbury. But I have no regrets. I’ve…

It is a warm Sunday evening. I have been massaging since being at Glastonbury. I decide to go for a wonder… Sunday Evening On Sunday evening I decide to go to the Cabaret Field. The first thing I come to is The People’s Front Room. Replete with sofas (on which I am lucky enough to…

It is Saturday night and I decide to take some more time off from massaging… Saturday Night On Saturday I am semi-reluctantly dragged to the Pyramid Stage to see The Rolling Stones. Live music doesn’t do a thing for me. I arrive half an hour early and stand near the back of the crowd, about…

Part of massaging at Glastonbury is seeing the festival. Here are my impressions of the dystopian fantasy of Arcadia and The South East Corner… Arcadia And The South East Corner Arcadia is so crowded that you can hardly move, surrounded by people captivated as they watch two men bounce lightning off of each other via…

A major part of Glastonbury are The Green Fields, which incorporate The Healing Field… The Green Fields There is a definite divide at this festival: The Babylonians and The Hippies. The Hippies inhabit The Green Fields. The Babylonians have the rest of the festival. The Hippies feel they are being pushed out even though they…

Some years ago I massaged at Glastonbury Festival. Here are my impressions of the festival… “Come to me in your huddled masses” is the poorly remembered quote that comes to me as I see the hoards enter when the gates of Glastonbury are opened to the public. I watch the unfortunates in their down-market, worn-out…
