  1. In 2011 I went to the Spirit of ‘71’ stage in search of Steve Hillage. Only their timings were indeed something out of the 70s so I sat down and waited..and waited. Then on stage came Noel Harrison and sang the most exquisite version of his song ‘Windmills Of Your Mind’ from The Thomas Crowne Affair to an audience of about 20! It is still up their in my all time top 3 Glastonbury moments - unexpected, iconic and achingly beautiful. He did a version on the TV from backstage but his band version was so much better - check the backstage version out on YouTube! He died 2 years later and I’m so glad I wandered into a Glastonbury moment!
  2. Ooo I missed this one - can you recall where it was?
  3. Saw Kristen Hersh play Glastonbury ‘New Tent’ in 1998 and she was amazing. She had the crowd transfixed Oh I think Cowboy Junkies on the Garden Stage would be a dream come true. Not too big at all - they just don’t come to Europe very often! But boy if they did that would be stunning. Also wonder if Rufus Wainwright would be someone to excel at EOTR?
  4. An unannounced gig on the 24th June on their website! Maybe The Stranglers will be ‘hanging around’ on the farm - been a few years since they last played!
  5. 7/6 - we are actually taking up one more ticket than we had originally booked! Sorry! My son would have free in 2020 but will be over 14 this year so Glastonbury allowed us to buy an additional ticket! Hoping everyone on here without a ticket gets one in the re-sale
  6. It could work. Because the festival sells out people will choose from what’s on offer. Take End of the Road festival - consistently voted the best small festival. They book headliners that on tour play venues that are maximum 2K but at the festival play to audiences of 8 thousand.
  7. More Glastonbury relevant and beautiful than anything Macca could deliver - and I’m not even a fan. This - artists of today at the top of their game - is what Glastonbury was always about! Love to see Billie, Wolf Alice and Harry Styles headline the first Glastonbury since 2019 - authentic and innovative!
  8. I certainly wouldn’t dismiss the idea that Wolf Alice are one of our headliners. US acts are not committing to travel restricting the choice of headline acts - and WA are without doubt a Glastonbury act. Coldplay headlined on album number 2 and even they had doubts whether they were ready…the rest is history. Personally I can see this happening
  9. Thanks for this @Brave Sir Robin - been on all morning and picking up some strong 'must sees' from it
  10. Thanks Big Hog. Makes me relieved that I haven’t just fallen through a gap somewhere. My first time volunteering so didn’t know what to expect! See you there!
  11. Is anyone on here volunteering as a steward this year? My two EOTR buddies are giving it a miss this year so I thought ‘what the hell’ I’ll volunteer this year rather than miss it. I got a confirmation of a place in June from Wicked Events but not heard anything since. I know that they are having to juggle new arrangements with Covid protocols just being released but just wondered if others are in the same position or have they had their ‘joining instructions’ through?
