Our fifth festival of the year and it’s the big one – Glastonbury!
Every year the festival is hugely populated with thousands of music fans thronging the place to watch their favorite bands perform. The festival site is located only a stone’s throw away from Glastonbury village in the county of Somerset…
Friday…
Roy came well prepared…
And was up early…
Everywhere people were loving the farm…
Even Toyah & Robert…
And of course Lulu…
Good to see our former agent Martin Horne…
Groovy times ahead…
Watching Paul Heaton…
Peter followed the directions…
To watch Billy Bragg…
Another fan…
I wasn’t due to arrive at the festival until Saturday so I was staying in a village nearby called Godney…
About a mile away in Lower Godney was the Sheppey Inn…
Lovely quirky pub and my pint of choice was Notorious by the Bristol Beer Factory…
Columbus, Chinook, Cascade and Centennial combine to make a legend of a pint: citrus, sherbet, black pepper, floral, tropical and piney flavours make this an epic pour.
The food menu was great as well…
Meanwhile back at the festival…
Ed, Alex & Ben…
Ed’s band Mutant Vinyl…
‘Nu’s Model Army’…
Next on, LCD Soundsystem at the Pyramid Stage…
Then over to the West Holts stage…
To watch headliners Jungle…
Saturday…
My first day at the festival…
It had a great atmosphere…
I was instructed to find the Cider Bus…
Had to try one…
We had a fantastic afternoon…
Earlier on, Jamie Webster was at the other stage…
And the Skatalites were on at West Holts…
There were plenty of places to eat and drink…
It was a lovely sunny day…
Alex enjoyed watching the Staves…
And later on Little Symz at the Pyramid stage…
Top marks for Roy’s favourites, English Teacher…
Ed was performing and having a few pints at the Avalon Inn…
Brewed with unabashed notes of grapefruit and bright citrus peel, this
is beer for all.
Coldplay were the headliners at the Pyramid…
Ed & Alex enjoyed Goldie…
And backstage Peter met Everton boss and huge Farm fan Sean Dyche…
Sunday…
At last the big day has arrived!
Keith’s former student and Lipa graduate Jalen Ngonda was playing at 12.30…
I went for a little walk around the site…
Lunch was Pazzo’s Pizza and Otter Ale…
“ Otter Ale – the malty aroma and hints of fruit provide a first clue to the flavour but the taste goes further and finishes in a strong combination of fruit and some bitterness.”
James were on at 3…
Shania Twain at 3.45…
At last Carl & Keith had arrived but it was so packed we couldn’t meet up…
We’d gone over to the Other Stage to meet up with our friends…
Watching Nothing but Thieves…
Took absolute ages to walk back from the Other Stage to the Left Field tent but eventually found Carl in a bar…
Finally met Keith and our good mate John Robb…
Alex is so excited…
And Jamie Carragher was spotted wearing a Farm/Glasto t-shirt…
The time has come…
Brilliant crowd, packed the tent and spilled outside into the festival…
Billy Bragg👏👏
All Together Now stage invasion!!!
It was a fantastic performance but everything has to come to an end…
A unique experience and one we all hope to replicate in years to come!
And finally a big thank you to Kelly, Kirsty, Andy and all their friends who helped make it all possible. ❤️
