RAY FOULK

Ray Foulk has fostered many passions since his early days as a pioneering promoter. After the dizzy heights of the Isle of Wight festivals and big stadium events in London, the Foulk brothers were head-hunted by the Milton Keynes Development Corporation to help plan the leisure content of the innovative new city.

 

Ray brought the inventor/scientist/designer Buckminster Fuller to the project. Embracing  Buckminster's environmentalism, Ray eventually trained as an architect at the University of Cambridge.

 

Combining design, education and promotion, he spent much of the nineties and noughties as an environmental campaigner, and led the ambitious in-schools project, Blue Planet Day, rekindling the satisfaction, and more, that the festivals had brought to his youth.

 

The last few years have been dominated by environmental architecture, writing and involvement with the enduring legacy of the festivals. Ray is now based in Oxford living close to his children and grandchildren.
