Glastonbury Folk Map

In this age of digital innovation, blue-sky thinking and all the rest of that web 2.0 nonsense, it's refreshing when a couple of crafty chaps can make something wholesome and (gasp!) handmade.

Champions of unpopular music British Underground have teamed up with illustrator Anika Mottershaw and made an adorable hand drawn map for this year's Glastonbury festival that celebrates the British folk revival. Folk music's reputation has suffered a beating since being hi-jacked by the BNP during the recent general election, but now campaigners are trying to revive the genre through some very creative live shows.

British Underground are cheerleading this much maligned genre and trying to make folk music cool by encouraging any wannabe designers to create their own hand-drawn maps too! The limited edition Folk Map of Glastonbury will be distributed free at folkal (get it?) points around the festival site next week so look out for them or download your own copy.
