M spoke to the owner of Worthy Farm, better known as Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis CBE.

Eavis started Glastonbury in 1970 after witnessing a performance by Led Zeppelin at Bath Festival of Blues with his late second wife Jean Hayball.

The Glastonbury man talks about getting the ingredients of a festival right, finding fresh acts to perform and the reason behind the fallow years.
