The Greenbelt Festival takes place this weekend at the Cheltenham racecourse, and I’ll be there not doing anything. Well, not in the programme at least, but some of my work will be around in various forms. 1. T-shirt This is the design for this year’s t-shirts. They will be available in the Bookshop / Church…
I’m currently working on my annual cartoon map of the Greenbelt Festival. I say working, what I mean is I’m thinking about beginning to start contemplating it. In the meantime I thought I’d post a blank version of the 2011 map for you to download (High resolution .gif version, will open in new window). It…
We have been away but are now back from several places. This is just a quick blog post to say thank you for all of the really very kind things that were said to me at the Greenbelt Festival. I really do appreciate the things people say and to see my work being enjoyed every…
The Greenbelt Festival starts on Friday, and I will be there not really doing much. One or two pieces of information follow: Where I will be Quite often I will be in the G-Books tent which is being run by Hymns Ancient and Modern (company that includes Church Times, Church House Bookshop, etc). Some of…
One final Greenbelt cartoon before I get back talking about other things. If you were at the festival you may or may not also be interested in the lists of my Last Orders cartoons and Church Times exhibition cartoons.
This is my last-but-one Greenbelt post, I promise. One or two people have asked me how they can get hold of some of the cartoons that appeared in the Church Times cartoon exhibition at Greenbelt. Well, here is a reasonably accurate list, along with links to the book in which each diagram can be found…
This cartoon will make little or so sense to anyone not at the Greenbelt festival last weekend, but I did promise that I’d make an attempt to post some of my new material. A full list of the cartoons I presented at the late night Last Orders comedy show is here in case you haven’t…
Greenbelt 2010 has come to an end. I’ve had a marvellous time as usual. This year it was mainly (for me at least) about hanging around and chatting to people, my new book, the Church Times cartoon exhibition, and my nightly appearances in Last Orders, the late night comedy show. The latter took up the…
I am now back on this blog after a holiday (We went to Ireland – more about that another time). Lo and behold it is now nearly the end of August, which means that it is time for my favourite weekend of the year, the Greenbelt Festival. Here is what I am doing or involved…
The August Bank Holiday is of course the weekend of the very good Greenbelt Festival. This year our plans have changed somewhat, as at the time of writing I’m still not feeling that great healthwise. For the first year since I started going (which was, I think, 1999) the campervan will be staying at home…
From the Greenbelt website: …this year, we’ll be holding our Festival Communion service at 3pm on Sunday afternoon To half of the readership of this website this will be utterly irrelevant. To the other half this will be utterly life changing. Well… OK, it will be of passing interest.
I thought I’d post some of the drawings I did for various Greenbelt-related things for those who have not seen them. These are the rare black and white versions of some colour cartoons that appeared on the Guide to Greenbelt published by the Church Times. Incidentally I had a great time loitering in the Church…
Usually it takes a few days to go through these phases (with the showering being first) but today I have been through all of them. I have had a splendid time at the Festival and have returned invigorated. This is mainly because of the many friends I have seen and people I have met I…
[Cartoon from the Dave Walker Guide to Greenbelt, 2005] We’re about to leave to go to the Greenbelt Festival via various places. Here are some sundry bits of information relating to Greenbelt this year: I have done 2 lots of drawings for the 2007 festival, both of which will be available free. These are: Some…
I’ve been wondering about whether the Greenbelt Festival was going to happen, what with the weather and everything. This has been posted on their website and in the ‘Dispatches’ newsletter: Thanks for all your calls and emails concerning the flooding in Gloucestershire and how this might affect Greenbelt. Our site team live and work out…
Surefish are organising a ‘Great Big Hymn Sing‘ at the Greenbelt Festival and are trying to find which are the 10 most popular hymns using a public vote. You can listen to music files of the music to help you decide. It sounds like a complex process with the hymns being whittled down to 50,…
Martyn Joseph is a singer who is popular at Greenbelt festival and other such places. Growing up in south Wales I went to his concerts in school halls and churches on quite a few occasions. Martyn has been in the news this week (Well, the Western Mail and BBC radio Wales) because of a lyric…
