GM 2005 - the film!

[rayrad]

bits of this have seeped out before

but finally, at last, here's the whole thing

looks like it's actually been up on youtube for a few months now - but very few views - so folks don't know about it, i guess

this was my and mrs rad's first year at GM - so lots of memories

(and lots of trying to spot ourselves)

it was wonderful - and so is the film:

Excellent! Do we know anything of the departure from Green Man? Sounds a bit like there’s a story there

[rayrad]

don't quote me, but i think it was essentially a case of fiona's company being brought in to co-manage as GM got bigger - but ultimately forcing jo and danny out

for years, any mention of jo and danny would be religously excised from the GM wikipedia page - to leave it looking as though fiona founded the festival

they seem to given up on this stalinist revisionism now though!

Yeah, read similar somewhere. Jo and Danny saw Fiona's team as managers because it had outgrown them, but Fiona started leading the strategic direction too and inevitably there were differences.

Remember a few years ago J+D tried to start another festival and it never got off the ground? That's a shame- but kinda inevitable, it's a crowded market these days.
