Little Boots AKA Victoria Hesketh makes her Glastonbury debut in the larger than her normal sized venue the John Peel Tent. Up against Lilly Allen (Pyramid) Friendly Fires (Other) & then Lady GaGa straight after (Other) Little Boots was always going to struggle to draw in a large crowd, but a surprising number do turn up, which she exclaims is genuinely surprised about.

Walking on stage flanked by her backing singer / dancers dressed in druid type hooded cloaks, they all make a slow walk to the centre of the stage.

Disrobing & revealing a sparkly short mini dress, Little Boots sure did look every bit the pop star she is destined to be.

Using the Stylophone which has had journos asking Rolf Harris if he has heard of Little Boots (He hadn't but said he would go listen) along with a strange instrument called the Tenori-On from Japan which looks like a small autocue reader, Little Boots always looked an interesting proposition.

Going into disco beat territory 'Meddle' the stylophone is used for the first time to great effect & gets the Peel audience bopping about the tent.

'New in Town' from debut album 'Hands' gets a fantastic response & lifts the roof as Hesketh boogies around the stage.

At a set running at just over 25 minutes a quick dedication to Emily & the show is over. If you decided to go to Lily Allan or Friendly Fires you missed 25 minutes of fantastic electro synth pop.
