Ethos & Background

Who are we?

The Head Gardener founded the event and programmes all the music, whilst keeping an eye on the other team members and DJing when he can. He is not your average boss which is why we call him ‘The Bear’.

Health and Safety Eddie is our Site Manager. HS Eddie loves fencing, junction boxes and car parking. This is the guy who doesn’t really sleep all weekend, sorts out all the site problems and never stops grinning.

Miss Vidler manages the non-musical entertainment and the marketing. She ensures only the finest people hear about the project.

Roman Lovegrove manages both the money and the fun. A virtuous circle from which both benefit, we feel it’s important that the person who handles the Japery also writes the cheques.

Others – The Blonde, J'me, Jenna, Fluffy, Lou, Slava, Ofir, F Drabble, Eddy TM, Karen, Martin, Phyllida, Coolio of Colross – have shaped the project and continue to guide the Party.
