Since my last visit in 2010 I've taken a liking to Reggae music, I cant recall seeing any when I was last at Glasto but I'm sure there will be some but just unsure where it will be area wise?

unfortunately there's not masses, tho it's always had a bit, and last festival there was a chunk more than there'd been previously.

There's normally at least one 'major' reggae act on West Holts. Last year that was The Congos. They also played on one of the stages in Silver Hayes.

Then new last year (and presumably back for this year) there was a couple of much more dedicated area in Silver Hayes, which was soundsystems in The Blues, and live acts on The Gully stage.

One of my great Glastonbury moments was Jimmy Cliff in 2011. From hazy memory it was raining at the start of his set but after this the skies really did clear.

Neil, perhaps you could post the link to what was a great Reggae thread where I think you gave everyone a tutorial on great moments in reggae.

I liked that corner of silver Hayes last year. Only really discovered it on the Sunday night though. Bought a rum and coke to get in the mood. Cost me 8 quid!!! Other than that though I think it's a great addition. Love the tin sheets and trailers around the stage. Will give it more time this year.

    • Brazil's first half was genuinely dreadful all round, not just the midfield, so they're absolutely not bulletproof. Whether Scotland have the quality to take advantage is a different question.   Tbf, that's as much on Morocco looking good, which I did think was a possibility. They could be a bit annoyed with themselves not to have scored more before Vini's goal tbh.
    • Surely nowadays with so much data analytics available on every division in world football and so much awareness that people aren't suckered in on the basis of a decent World Cup game... right?   Although tbf, from what I saw, Australia's game plan worked very well. But that was as much thanks to Turkey blowing varying opportunities given they created enough chances but couldn't finish, a la what happened with Switzerland against Qatar when they really could and should've won by 3/4 goals.
    • I missed Viagra Boys for a good spot for Gorillaz. Was a nice weekend and festival for me. Would definitely come back, if the line up is right. Get back home safe everyone. 
    • The Last Temptation - new Heaven 17 documentary film directed by James Strong. Premiered at Sheffield Docfest this weekend.    I really enjoyed it. Affectionate, insightful, and honest. A nice mix of archival and footage, interviews and clips from the last tour. Martyn and Glenn are like an old married couple.   Plus a snippet of news from the Q&A, Martyn is recording new BEF material, and Phil Oakey has collaborated on the one of tracks. The film shows them meeting in Fagans for the first time in over 35 years.
