The best days of his life

“Muddy Marvellous,” says Michael Eavis

We went back to his old alma mater, the Wells Cathedral School in Somerset, with Michael Eavis the other day.

It’s just a few miles from Glastonbury Tor and Pilton, the site of his farm and the world’s top music and performing arts festival.

Michael, who as well as being a farmer and cultural entrepreneur, has also been a miner and merchant seaman, is part of the team planning the multi-million-pound Cedars Hall project – a world class music performance and learning facility at the school, which will coincide with its 1100-year birthday in 2009.

prone is guiding the early stages of press coverage and marketing.

The school has selected leading architect Eric Parry. And Michael, the quiet man of rock ‘n ‘roll who has raised millions for various charities and has championed the Green causes so close to prone’s heart, is pleased to be involved.

“I must be one of the oldest old boys left,” he said during a prone photo shoot in the beautiful medieval city.

prone also sends its congratulations to Michael on being given the school’s first fellowship, in honour of his lifetime’s work and achievements.
