The Wurzels

[AM91]

Anyone else catch them? great fun live, and the Avalon field look absolutly packed for them.

[jimbo68]

I got there just before they started singing ruby & it was great atmosphere going on & was packed.

[gizmoman]

I was right down the front with my cider of course!, fantastic performance and atmosphere, true west country legends, should be on the pyramid by rights.

[Funkyfairy!]

brilliant - absolutely brilliant

I remember them from my childhood and so wanted a bit of random silliness. Was right in the middle of the tent, and it was a superb atmosphere and a great singalong

I am a cider drinking - such a giggle, Ruby - brilliant and the danceversion of 'I've got a brand new combine harvester' - surreal

[xploit]

I'd not heard the dance version of combine harvester either - it was great

Love tha wurzels

[Loutag]

I thought they were great!! We were lucky enough to be at the side of the stage, so plenty of space to dance around with fantastic view. They were one of my favourite acts of the weekend!!

From a fellow cider drinker from Somerset!!

[tinktink]

I only heard them it was just jam packed at the avalon, would have been great on pyramid,

[Beaver89]

saw the first 4 songs and had to go. Really good fun. Should have been (or be next year) Pyramid openers for sure!

I didn't see them, but I've been listening to some of 6Music's coverage on iPlayer since getting back.

On one of Steve Lamacq's shows, he said he'd heard 20,000 people went to see The Wurzels and they had to close the field at one point because it reached capacity.

Not sure if that's entirely true, but good work either way!

If they can get a crowd of 15,000 at the Avalon stage they have to be worth a go as Pyramid openers, it would be amazing!

[Loutag]

Yes it's true about closing the Avalon field.

My sister was walking to their manager afterwards, she said the same thing about them opening on the Pyramid. Their manager said they wouldn't want to! They are down to earth guys who just love what they do, and like the smaller venues. So it's unlikely we will see them on the Pyramid.

Heres a clip of them doing 'Ruby'

i love the wurzels but it was so rammed could get anywhere near. still think they could do the west holts at least.

anyone who stayed on for The Avett Brothers missed an absolute treat - they were amazing live. they could be real stars.

[___S_o_m_a__]

The Wurzels were immense. We were right in the middle of the tent. Great bands, good chat with the audience and a brilliant atmosphere. One of my highlights for sure. Oh and the compere did say that the Avalon was at capacity but would I like to see them on the Pyramid? Hell no... it just wouldn't be the same.

[LusciousLucy]

There was an announcement before they went on stage that there was 20,000 in the field. I was shattered from a very late night and happily snoozed in the crowd but heard the entire set. It charged my batteries right up.

One of only 3 acts I saw all day!

[G1T]

I was chatting to them and their manager randomly that night, and they said they'd been told they'd broken the all time attendance record for the Avalon field with that show.

They also asked me to plug the fact that their version of 'Ruby' is now out as a single on iTunes, so, in return for that pint of cider, I shall!

[hope]

We tried to see them, but couldn't get anywhere near, couldn't even hear them & it was SO HOT & so busy...that we gave up & went off to the Acoustic tent to see Michael Eavis in Conversation instead...

I think that they should've opened Pyramid instead of Rolf on Friday, Tinchy Stryder on Saturday or Yeovil Town Band on Sunday...

Please join. The Wurzels could easily get a bigger crowd, they deserve it after all these years!

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

They were amazing

[Clevedon_Red]

Does anyone know officially how many the Avalon tent can hold? Quite staggering there were 15-20k people outside the tent that day. Please let the Wurzels play on the Pyramid!
