The History of Music Festivals

DC Site Services would like to wish all of our staff a very Happy New Year!

We hope you're all looking forward to another great season working with DCSS at some of the best UK music festivals and events! The 2013 festival and event calendar is still being finalised, we'll let you know once that's online and you can apply via our news, twitter, facebook and our newsletter.

Whilst you're waiting for the 2013 event season to kick in, if you fancy having a read about the history of the live event industry head over to the PAAM festival staff Blog. PAAM's first post of 2013 looks at the history of music festivals - starting way back in ancient Greece!

I just wanted to send out a big thank you to you and your team for all the work you and the team put into helping make the traffic and transport operation work so well this year.

As it was a pleasure having DC site services as part of our team. I think the GFEL team of contractors is the envy of a lot of events in the way we all support each other and it was noted by some observers that stated the following :- 

"simply put, GFEL’s off-site traffic management plan was delivered and managed in a totally consistent and defensible manner that sought to promote good practice, collaboration and road safety to the benefit of all road users."

The DC are big part of that delivery and should take some of the credit for that delivery.
