Was That The Summer Then?

[White Room]

Down in Plymouth yesterday and it was baking, hot today as well...

I got fried scabbling down concrete high spots today!

Glasto has always been an "alternative" music festival. But there is no doubt it has become "Glastonbury Festival Ltd" in the last 15 years. Still you can find some truly bizarre things off the beaten track there. It's still a lot of fun for the townies on tour and no matter what you go there for, it has a unique atmosphere. I reckon I worked there about a dozen times, but not been since about 2005. If you can get a ticket, just pack a bag and go (don't worry about a tent, use someone else's).

I used to go V festival and Carling Weekends (Leeds or Reading) every year. They're similar I guess but better weather.

Frankly I always thought that reading had much better line up than Glastonbury. But then I love rock music and Reading always has a good rock quotient.

Yeah that's a bit more rocky. I'd be more old style V which was less pop than it is now. Used to have indie, rock, dance (seen faithless own the whole show a few times, no matter what people are into they always went to watch faithless).

The streets were good there too. He was sponsored by Adidas and told everybody to hold up and shoe and throw it. 50,000 people were walking around for the rest of the weekend with odd shoes or no shoes at all because they couldn't find one that would fit.
