Music Goes On - News - 'Glastonbury Man' - BBC Documentary On Michael Eavis

I built and ran this website between 2000 and 2001, combining passion for popular music and programming. It was listed by MTV's now defunct MusicNewswire as one of the then nascent web's top twenty sources, alongside Billboard and VH1. The most exciting part of it — for a 13/14-year-old excited by new music — was receiving scores of pre-release CDs from record companies. The entire project was written entirely from scratch (frameworks and libraries were not the norm back then!) in PHP linking to a MySQL database, with HTML as well as a little CSS and JavaScript for the frontend; the code is available here.

The BBC will be broadcasting a documentary on Michael Eavis at 7.55pm on June 24 (BBC 2), during the BBC's coverage of this year's festival.

The documentary follows Michael Eavis for a year, starting last August up to the beginning of this year's festival. Some of the musicians interviewed in the show are Cerys Matthews, Travis and Billy Brag.

This year's Glastonbury Festival takes place over the weekend of June 23-25 at Worthy Farm, Pilton.
