Great memories. More please. Always good to get a different perspective. Although I've worked at other festivals I've only done Glasto as a punter. So also a thank you for the hard work you've put in helping give people like me a great time.

I saw the Carter set in '92 and it was fantastic. Went on to see them a couple of times after that but the Glastonbury gig was best.

Only regret is that I didn't get to see Primal Scream do their original Screamadelica set, which clashed with Carter.

very cool....

I haven't seen him for years. The last time he was being overshadowed by John Hiatt in Little Village. As good as John is, Ry was why I was there.

Evidently a truly nice guy too

Ok here he is one of the more Bizarre stories from my locker , After 30 years of being involved in the festival. There is not many things that surprise the regular old time Glastonbury Festival workers , But this come close This sort of thing is defiantly watched out for . But it was the first and only time it has happened to the best of my knowledge. So people wearing wet suits mmmmmmm might be innocent , But then again . http://styfnorm.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/french-frogmen-get-life-glastonbury-ban.html

Oh my god, it seems to me he was into water sports. I wonder what happened to the camera.

    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
