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

    • RIP Roy Hattersley
    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
