first glastonbury band

Long story as to why my first band was on a Saturday - suffice to say that is when we arrived in 2008. Saw 10 mins of Los Campesinos on the Other Stage en route to Pyramid to see Seasick Steve who was just brilliant. Raw blues and a very funny story about his guitar kicked our first Glasto off in style!

Kangaroo Moon in a tarpaulin covered bender cafe thing full of dreadlocked folks up in the greenfields on the thursday evening of 1997.

Remember it really clearly, as a kid fresh out of boarding school, it kind of changed my life in a way.

    • would be delighted to have that back given ive got sweet fa personally since the inception of new system 
    • Used had one of the biggest crowds in the Wave last year. Not really my thing but enjoyed it and the crowd were bang up for it. Might be too much of a step up on the Main though. 
    • Thing is it depends on what the issues are - building a bigger stage would likely bring the Pyramid up to the relatively standard 20x20 space for "on stage" production which does make it easier for touring setups. But if for example she wants big / complex extensions going out in the field (such as she had in Rio) that would remain just as awkward to achieve without massively disrupting the rest of the day or potentially even weekend.
    • A month or so before any ballot a group of up to six is registered and a lead booker named.  That gives see tickets time to check if any individual’s registration, post code  and details appears more than once on different groups and removed then on ticket allocation day tickets the groups are just randomly balloted.  It’s felt like a ballot in the last few years, just sitting staring at the dreaded two lines, glancing nervously at the clock as time passes. Maybe the f5 refresh gave you the sense that you were actually doing something 😊  
    • or can we just have Metallica back please 😄
