Glade Festival

We absolutely rocked Glade! Starting as it was getting dark, we mingled with the punters in the forest hideaway, then worked our way through the forest paths picking up an enthusiastic audience all along the way. We led the crowds to the bonfire-to-be (Pyro-mid) before an epic version of Jungle to get everyone in that primal mood, ready for the fire!
