Sorry about the long delay people! I've been away for a week. Got muddy, sunburnt, muddy and injured. Saw tons of music (and lots of random stuff). Very little in the way of drum and bass this year (boohoo). Here's my Glastonbury review, in the style of Santa's Christmas list:
Camping - nice

Toilets - nice

(hehe, we had the best crew camping ever)

Sun - nice

Mud - naughty

Circus fields - nice and random

Babyhead - nice

Kasabian ('oasis and kraftwerk' said the review - they weren't wrong) - naughty

Spree (drum and bass) - nice

Jim White - nice (but only coz he was so average)

Death b4 Dishonour (hip hop crew) - nice

Elbow - very nice

Snow Patrol - naughty

PJ Harvey - nice

Tindersticks - nice (but we had to go work halfway through)

Lost Prophets - naughty

Ben Harper - NICE!!!

The Egg - naughty (how are the mighty fallen)

Jane Taylor - nice

Tinariwen - nice! (backstage view too)

James Brown - very nice

Suzanne Vega - nice

Bill Bailey - very nice indeed (played on our stage - nearly didn't coz of the rain

40 ft praying mantis - nice (and French)

Naked dancing girls - nice

15 yr old jazz sax genius in the Banyan tree tent - nice (but naughty coz he couldn't sing)

Random electro band in some place - nice

Bunch of hippies jamming on didgeridoos and drums at four in the morning - nice

So there you have it, the most comprehensive Glastonbury review ever! I'll find some way of putting my pictures up on the net... And write a discourse on how Ben Harper showed everyone what a seminal festival performance really is.
