I know it was a few weeks ago , but I kept forgetting to post this.

On saturday night / sunday morning, about 1 - 2 am, there was a world/easy listening group at the stone circle. They were playing on a bicycle powered caravan thing with neon lights. There were 2 female singers, a guy on drums, a guy on guitar and another guy playing random instruments (djembe and stuff like that).

Was anyone there and does anyone know who they were? It was the trippiest, most chilled out thing I saw, it was so cool.

Oooh I heard these as well! We were sitting around then about 20 - 30 metres to the right of us we could hear this lovely music.

It was so cool. Suddenly there was a fat crowd who had gathered from nowhere, one of the best moments of the festival. It was like a dream (maybe because of the K).

I really wanna know who they were!!!

The only singer I saw was just a random with a guitar I think, he kept repeating the same line over and over again, or so it seemed, I did wonder whether he should have written a whole song before performing it

I never heard any music up at the circle. Not even any bongo's.


All I heard was the schuuuuuurrp of NOS balloons.

I saw the caravan thingy moving past us at the Stone Circle, I also saw it next day during the day (unmanned) somewhere in the green fields. No idea who they were i'm afraid!

Ohh that got pretty annoying    i'm sure there was much more going round than previous years.

It's almost certainly going to be the  RinkyDink bicycle-powered sound system but don't know who the musicians were - I've seen them about with various 'others' using the funky bicycle power disco to drive some small  amps for a live performance. The rinkydink is a perennial at glasto and they usually do make the slog up to the stone circle at some point over the weekend, mud permitting!

Lots on youtube...

It wasn't them. I think they might have been African. Maybe South African.

I love stories like this. Feels like we've been buried in moany threads since we got back, and we know this was one was a really *goood* one. Nice one.

I'm pretty sure I was there about 1am dancing about in a pretty spaced out way next to these guys

Really enjoyed it - nice chilled vibe

Wandered off to Arcadia later for 'something entirely different' !
