Volunteers take centre stage

The Lake Stage opens at 2pm today with The Late Greats from Eastbourne. Leeds Met volunteers are running the whole stage under the watchful eye of Kevin Sutherland, who is happy just to let them get on with it. The team are really excited about their first full day and have been getting on marvellously so far. It's so important that the stage runs to time, so they will be keeping a tight rein on the schedule, whilst making sure that the bands are ok and all equipment is in the right place. The Lake Stage is one of four main music stages at the festival, and gets its name from its location, just by the lake and the specially created beach, complete with deckchairs.
