Michael Eavis, a Somerset dairy farmer with a penchant for folk, rhythm and blues, and pop music, has decided to host a music festival - the Pilton Pop, Blues & Folk Festival - at Worthy Farm. The amiable farmer chats to BBC Bristol about some of the challenges he's faced in getting to this point, and his hopes and fears for the festival.

He is confident of one thing - that his cows will enjoy the show.

Originally broadcast 18 September, 1970
