Glasto Day 3

What a great day! So great that I was too wasted to post a blog last night!

I’m currently in a car en route to London… Only after stopping off at three Somerset pubs on the way and a services to get a four pack. Before you ask, no, the driver isn’t drinking, but me and Ben Apples are getting hammered again.

On to yesterday… Day 3 triumphs were Black Cherry – such a shame they were on so early on the john peel stage, as they are AMAZING. After they were finished I rushed over to see my beautiful friend Anna Prior drumming for Primary 1. Lead singer was cheeky with the audience and they have a great sound.

Then I went backstage to watch the England match in a VIP bar… but the less said about that the better!

After that abysmal performance we went to the park stage, where I saw Tony Allens band, and they were grooving my heart – I think the best part of that was there wasn’t a horrible sound clash. In the Dance Village is horrible if you’re not in one tent but walking through.

I then proceeded to have a quick nap and then met up with a woman who has a lovely tankard (in joke) Nadia. We went to Crystal Castles in West Dance. First time in years I’ve raved it up (or ever) and really enjoyed myself. They work so well as a live band that I don’t think I can ever listen to their recorded stuff again. The lead singer is mental, croud surfing every other song and ripping up the drum kit at the beginning of the set.

Anyway, yesterday was defined by Stevie Wonder. What an epic man, and an epic back catalogue of music. Simply amazing. The only thing slightly not amazing is Michael Eavis joining Stevie on stage to sing Happy Birthday. Maybe not the best decision in the world of festival programming…

Then went to the Rabbit Hole and Stone Circle with Nadia (who can be part of my romcom) and her bro… Amazing night. Amazing festival.

See you next year #glasto… Now off to have a bath and watch the Doctor Who finale!
