Throwback Thursday – to Leeds Festival!

Posted on Thursday, August 20, 2020

This is another one that stings a little bit. Leeds and Reading festival have been a staple of DC’s event calendar for many years. These sister festivals are usually the peak of the festival season, our fullest weekend over the August bank holiday.

This is usually when our managers are at their busiest, the office staff at their most engaged with phones permanently attached to their ears…so it feels odd to be in a strange limbo.

We’ll settle for reminiscing over lovely sunrises, a sea of tents, DC’s trucks lined up and ready to track miles and miles over one site, stopping to nudge awake the more exhausted amongst us and prepping for when the shift is over to enjoy the sites and stellar live acts.

We’re sure we’re not the only ones looking forward to this time next year.

I wanted to send a personal message of thanks to you and your team for all their hard work in assisting with the delivery of the broadcast recording at Whitby Abbey. 

From my perspective, I tried incredibly hard to impress on everyone involved in the production just how important it was to ‘leave no trace’ and I have been thrilled to hear the feedback that has suggested we were largely successful in that quest.  The way the venue was kept spotless and ‘sanitised’ is a credit to you and your on-site colleagues – so well done.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with DC Site Services again and both Frankie and I look forward to doing so again in the future.
