Making music in the Kidzfield

Re-Play are a fixture here at the Kidzfield, giving children an opportunity to learn to play some music with some of the recycled instruments they bring every year. Any kid can have a go, and the best from the weekend are presented with an instrument at the end of the weekend.

This year, they’re joined by Access to Music, who’ve brought their own recording studio in a beautiful old Airstream trailer. There’ll be more from them over the weekend, here’s a video they produced from yesterday’s action;

Friday at the Kidzfield begins

The crew are up, the field is open and the kids are coming! Kidzfield is normally open from Friday to Sunday, so opening yesterday was a bonus, and a chance for us to get everything working. Today it feels like Glastonbury as normal, and we’re open to all until 7pm tonight.

There’s tons of things going on in Kidzfield this year, and we’ve recruited about 6 or 7 of the kidzfield crew kids to run the kidzfield.com team, and they’ll be going out into the field later today to shoot video and photos to bring the kidzfield to you. We’ll be meeting some of the performers, looking at some of the amazing tents and rides, and talking to the kidz who visit us.

As last year, we’ll be tweeting @kidzfield, putting our photos up on Flickr, our videos onto Blip.tv…. and you’ll be able to see everything right here on Kidzfield.com.

If you’re in Glastonbury, come over and say hi – Tom, Colin and Dan from Kidzfield.com (just ask at the office!)

Emily Eavis on The Kidz Field

Emily Eavis, yesterday

We are proud to be in the Glastonbury family and we’re always happy when our contribution is appreciated. The spirit of Glastonbury is something to be cherished and we celebrate and applaud it.

Emily Eavis was asked recently about the range of different areas at Glastonbury and cited us in her response:

“The Kidz Field on its own is the largest kids festival in Europe,”

says Emily when discussing how she begins to curate such a huge event.

“We just let people get on with what they do best. Tony Cordy, who puts on the kids field, does a fantastic job every year, and we know he’s going to put on a fantastic line-up, so we let him do what he does best”….
