So 2009 was the year Symbolife first took their marquee to Glastonbury Festival! What an experience.... We had made the decision early on in the year to ask some of our Talents to join us at the festivals and come and work with us*
Firstly before we go any further we want to thank the efforts of Talents: ‘Fiction', Rob Carnie and of course the marvellous Frank! These 3 young men helped us out with all the heavy lifting, lugging stuff around, erecting and disassembling our huge Millennium Dome marquee and Frank's personal favourite job.
The Van!
Guys we could not have done this without you. Thank you*
Our main reason for asking them along was to help them and us promote the Talent and networking side of our business, anyone who knows us and shops with us knows that we value youth culture as our future and try at every possible opportunity to get the rest of the Country to see this as well. Having these young talented guys with us at the festival just seemed the right choice.
Along with our usual fun and games this time we had Twister, Limbo, Giant Pick Up Sticks and of course our drawing equiptment, sofas and chill out area.
We utilised Fictions amazing graffiti talent and had him set up out the front of the marquee with a big white board which he graffed every day with new and exciting images. This was brilliant for him to gain as much publicity as he could and also attracted people's attention to our cause.
We had the very talented Rob Carnie drawing inside the marquee on just about anything he fancied, including out counter front! He chatted to people, did doodles and again gave himself more publicity.
Frank is an up and coming DJ in and around Winchester, we were not able to organise him decks for this event but watch this space, we will be installing the Technic 1210's by the end of the summer! Franks work is soon to be coming to Symbolife.com's Talent pages in the mean time check out his MySpace Page: T.A.N.K.
Frank was in charge of the tunage at the festival with me regularly shouting "No More Bloody Dub Step!" Sorry guys, you just can't dance to it! **
We also met new Talent Keifer O'Brien fantastic young Photographer, he will be joining the Symbolife team at the next festival 2000Trees along with Fiction and possibly Samantha Wright! Check out all our stunning Glastonbury photographs brought to you by Keifer*
Watch out for his new talent page coming very soon*
So the 5 of us worked really hard, (well ish, it was a festival after all), we met loads of fantastic people, thank you to everyone who came in a and had a chat, a doodle, played Twister, Limbo or to all of those who just had to take the weight of their feet and rest up for an hour!
We had an amazing experience, learnt a lot and will come back next year bigger and better so watch out Glastonbury!
Love you all, thanks again see you next weekend at 2000Trees in Cheltenham 17th to 19th July*****
