Paul Northup is a name well known to Greenbelters, both as a performer with Eden Burning and Bell Jar, and as a Greenbelt staff member, trustee, and former acting festival director. Paul brings a wealth of Greenbelt experience to the team, and will ensure this year's festival lives up to past glories!

Karen Stafford Karen came to Greenbelt dizzy after going round the world a few times with the highly acclaimed theatre company Stan’s Cafe. Karen has produced and marketed events for a variety of creative companies including John Eliot Gardiner’s Monteverdi Choir & Orchestra, Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Birmingham’s European Capital of Culture bid, Fierce Festival and the National Trust.  Since arriving at Greenbelt, Karen has continued to pursue her interest for travel, people and photography, joining Amos Trust trips to Nicaragua, Israel and Palestine and volunteering for the Street Child World Cup in South Africa in 2010.

Phil Smith Before working for Greenbelt Phil was employed by fair trade gurus Traidcraft. He supports Liverpool FC - through thick and thin - enjoys eating good food and drinking fine wine. Phil lives in Highbury and goes to St Luke's in West Holloway.

Lynne Greaves Bio TBC

Jo Bega Jo has been attending Greenbelt since her teens, only once forgetting to pack her tent. Her band - Fragile Cat - performed in 1997 to a jam-packed venue (it was pouring with rain at the time) and split shortly afterwards. After spending two years working in Johannesburg, South Africa she returned to the UK with an Italian husband in tow, and has since produced two bilingual kids. Prior to Greenbelt she worked for Christian Aid and disability charity Livability. In her spare time she sings with the IDMC gospel choir and tries to remember to wash clothes and fill packed lunch boxes.

Peter King I've been working with Greenbelt for nearly three years - one of the veterans! I look after the ticket sales throughout the year dealing with the needs of the paying public. At the festival I oversee the work of the Box Office and the Information Booth and arrange accommodation with a range of providers. I'm also involved with processing the orders and dispatching CD talks during the year. My working life has been split between being a public servant and the charity sector. I worked in the NHS for 17 years in various parts of London. I've more recently worked for Lymphoma Association, the Brent Centre for Young People and briefly with Barnet CAB. I'm married with three sons all who have helped out with Greenbelt at some form in the past. My middle son, Stephen has covered the office whilst we are at the festival during the last two summers. The family and the local Church take up a lot of my time. I'm a keen gardener and wildlife enthusiast when I can find the time.

Eleanor Mottram Formerly Marketing Manager at Bridport Arts Centre, she arrives at Greenbelt with a wealth of arts and event management experience both in her academic study, and also through experience with Oxfam on their Festivals Team at RockNess, Summer Sundae, Leeds Festival, Camp Bestival and Latitude.

Tom Davies Tom joined the team as Acting Development Co-ordinator for the 2009 festival, and moved into the Communications & Commercial role in late 2009. Outside the festival, Tom writes scripts under the name Tom Wateracre. He has performed comedy with Marcus Brigstocke, Sanjeev Bhaskar, The Penny Dreadfuls, Potted Potter (on Big Brother's Big Mouth), and with his own company Pegabovine.

Linda Watson Linda's first Greenbelt was with her Shropshire youth group. She took part in the drama festival wearing fishnet stockings. But that's a very long time ago. Since then she has worked for Scripture Union, Luton homeless centre Noah, the National Gallery, Feed the Minds, and the United Reformed Church. She lives in north London with her husband, three teenage children and a dog - likes drinking cider and singing (obviously in that order).
