Glasgowbury Picnic At CultureTECH Festival, Derry
Last month, Glasgowbury had it’s first live event since the festival at CultureTECH Festival, Derry. The concept was a scaled-down version of the festival at the city’s Guildhall Square, and we went for it!
Festival acts The Greased Palm, Silhouette, Shay Whaylan, Ed Zealous, The Clameens, and The Woodburning Savages all played on the main stage to a packed square with as much fervour as they had up the mountain. In addition, BM Promotions were in attendance doing kids activities and the Samba band kept the festival feeling alive.
Check out the gallery for some great shots of the day.
