The Glastonbury Festival is taking a break in 2012 but central Somerset festival organisers are not resting on their laurels when it comes to making live music available this summer.
On July 21 the one day Godney Gathering is back for a second year, at Godney Farm near to Glastonbury. Starting at 5pm and finishing at 1am there are five acts for the £20 admission cost.
