The Wombles

[budvar]

Given the excitement of today's announcement I wouldn't want this little gem to be overlooked:

The Wombles are playing Glastonbury!

Brilliant.

They should certainly help with the clean-up...

[Greenish]

is it the original lineup? uncle bulgaria must be getting on a bit now!

[redmosquito]

Where I they playing? in all the excitment I've totally overlooked them

I had forgotten this rumour......

I must go and see them!

[fantomas]

Wombling free! Suspect this will be pretty busy for an Avalon act.

[Mr Splodge]

If it is as hot as last year i pity them

[LondonTom]

Best boooking of the fest by miles

[sonicpurveyor]

not really something to admit to.....I always thought I had a bit of rock n roll credability about my first gig...donington 1986 motorhead, def lepp, scorpions ozzy osbourne etc...... then 2 yrs ago my sister reminded me that during xmas 76 (i think) I went to see The Wombles at Cardiffs New Theatre as a 6yr old. So for me I'm gonna re-live my childhood its a must for me

[Gnomicide]

I like The Wombles and I also like The Wombats but which is better?

[Alcatraz]

Ah yes- remember going to see them at Leith Theatre in Edinburgh when I was a kid, so may well have to relive my childhood by seeing them

How did I miss them on the line up list! As a child of the 70s I remember Womble-Mania. Lets hope they've dry cleaned the costumes since then.

When I was a kid I didn't know there was a place called Wimbledon Common and I used to think the line "common are we" was a reference to their social status!

Am slightly concerned that The Wombles playing is the act I'm most pleased by!

All together now.....'Remember'member'member What a womble womble womble you are'

I think they'd be better opening The Pyramid on the Friday in the Rolf slot from last year.

Should be a good laugh though, could get very busy.

[FunkyDenz]

I agree about opening the Pyramid Stage, am still tempted to go and see them, as I can then tease my AFC Wimbledon loving mate

[Morse Code]

I just hope they play a greatest hits set and not the later techno stuff

[Shimmy]

Are they going to do Wombling Merry Christmas? I realise it's June, but it must one of their most well known songs due to the fact that it makes it on every Christmas album!

[James Bolivar]

Is it still Mike Batt? I might just do some serious drug therapy and revert to childhood just for this act.

[whateverman]

Who remembers the lyrical, and to my mind, somewhat melancholy, classic - 'Madame Cholet, Don't go away, s'il vous plait'?

... Just me then

[Sawdusty surfer]

"don't you go wombling in the nettlebeds " and "excercise is god for you (lazyness is not)" are my faves
