regarding live in vehicle tickets….
question 1- i have a camper van ticket, but we are now lugging a caravan down. Is there a way to change/upgrade?
q2 - are the camper van fields like glastonbury, as in sectioned off from the main site?
nice one.
-
The back of the campervan area is your best bet, by the outer fence. Probably the same with
the tent area.
Quiet areas inside the venue.... the best place for a chill out is in the area where the bikes are used to power up
the stage. And you'll get to see a few irregular festie bands in there too, some band last year ''Dave something something..'', a load of elder gentleman, but doing covers quirkily and was most enjoyable. Fires in there too.

All 3 of us have re registered since 2007, the last time going was 2 years ago.
When using the reg recovery , it returns this message ''Thank you, we have e-mailed you the details of your registration(s).'',
but nothing comes to my email. I know our reg numbers, but am fearful now that for some reason we are not registered to
buy this weekend. Is it possible?
delete this admin please. all is now well.

Didn't bother leaving the site 'till mid day due to the vans getting stuck.
Highlights day by day were...
Friday was a brilliant double header of Culture Shock and Dub Pistols. Rain or not, the buzz
about the main stage was brilliant.Later Doghouse done a Sicknote dj set in the woods, aout time the
actual band got back together i think.
Saturday best was up in the glorious Magical Sounds tent, and that was CTRL ALT DEL earlier
in the day, and the cracking Astralsia to wipe the night out.
Sunday started off in beautiful style in the mud with Mel and Tarantism, Dreadzone later on were immense,
and the festival finished me off with The Orb, and it really was one of those where you had to be there
to realise how superb their live set was.
Then, meandering about thinking all was over, the mighty Headjam were giving it in Gails tent.!
All in all another cracker from BT.

Hang around the tea tent, always something good on there. Doozer is on I think, he's ace....bar steward sons are good fun too, tornado town they are on. Monster Ceilidh Band are badass, they're on in Magical Sounds. King prawn is my headliner Sunday..am tempted with mark Chadwick, but never seen king prawn before...
They're my recommendations anyway....I bet I don't see any of them!!! Ha
I know it's going to be there somewhere, the gaps will be filled once the set times are out.
Doozer i can't do, doesn't float mine at all. But i'll see the BSOVD again, Tarantism,Black Star Dub ,Sporadics ,Dreadzone, and either the Orb or King Prawn, depending on my state by then.
-
Sunday i really need to fill up with music i like !! I've gone round and around the line up
for that day, and i have big gaps inbetween bands i want to see. I know it'll
be floaty hang over sunday, but most of the acts i don't like .!

Tory kids ''ticking the box''. The same tory kids walking through or to the side of the green fields
dismissing it. Even mocking the lifestyle. But as long as they get to do their gas, and have a giggle for a few seconds,
that's all that really matters, eh ?.

He played a couple of years back at the Strawberry Fields fest, he was really really good, but
was lost on the crowd. I don't think that the majority had a scooby what he was up to.
-
Manu Chao for me , please. I've been told he thinks glastonbury is not for him, but i really
hope he changes his mind.
Ad Chic back on the Sunday, last act.
-
There'll be Blue Smoke on Sunday afternoon.......
-
Not sure whether his apology was enough, but a little afternoon stage invasion could be fun.
-
Aye. Me and TBH. Happy winter !!
-
Zubzub too, starting the weekend off to a flyer !
Cracking line up this year, hours of brilliant music .
-
Mick Jones, The Clash , is still playing. Maybe ME can talk him and the 2 remaining
members into a one off .... PLEASE !!
-
They will see the lie in your eyes. I pity you really.

Me and the mrs both agreed that the bbc coverage last night did nothing
to project the atmosphere and the brilliance of The Stones.
Why, we couldn't work out, maybe the electricty running across the crowd
failed to venture itself into the fluffy boom sticks .
-
I forgot to mention a couple of lower billed bands....
Slamboree and 3 daft monkeys, saturday.
-
^^^^
They would create the same open space image from a distance .
Most of the problem i witnessed was the arrogant few who knew quite well,because they were told, that
it was getting dangerously packed at the front , yet still tried in their quest to get nearer.
-
But they don't talk like we do , do dey tho la.

Hope Manu Chao come back and headline Sunday in West Holts.
