and you go to GF why exactly?

To watch bands I like, maybe check out some recommendations and have a laugh with my mates. Not to go an watch an someone I'm aware of and have no interest in (Dolly Parton, Dalai Lama etc) purely as its the thing to do and be seen.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Fair enough, but you could extend the same perspective to folk attending either Dolly or the DL. Anyone attending anything at Glastonbury to 'be seen' is on a bit of a fool's errand - it's difficult to stick out much in a crowd of 100 thousand people.

Sadly, the closest his holiness got to Hull was Bridlington.

Of course I could, but I'm not going turn round to them and say that they should of been watching some minimal techno in the dance tent instead.

If I had a penny for every time someone on here's said I should have been at The North Mississippi Allstars gig instead of Dolly I'd have about 4 or 5 pence.

[chewsavedlatin]

Maybe I should of checked them out. I can't remember who I was watching instead, I think Jake Bugg.

[russycarps]

who are these mysterious people who question what acts you went to see at glastonbury? I cant say I've ever walked out of a field and been accosted by angry people telling me I should have been elsewhere.

What a peculiar life to lead.

Well, you should have.

Have another penny.

[CaledonianGonzo]

If it was a toss up between NMA and Jake Bugg I would have.

I bumped into John Robb, who wrote that review, at the Crow's Nest at Glasto last year. Chatted for a bit about his time with The Membranes. A really nice fella!

[russycarps]

There should have been a mob with pitchforks awaiting you outside the John Peel tent in 2009!

ha! almost 6 six years on and still no regrets here..

You obviously watched Dolly Parton then.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Dolly Parton's crowd could beat all the other crowds in a fight. I think that's what's important here.

Hmmm, you sure about that?

[CaledonianGonzo]

I wouldn't mess with them, that's for sure.

Gnomicide is correct - have another penny from me.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Gnomicide is correct - have another penny from me.

Cheers. I've now got enough pennies to book NMA for a private gig.

Really looking forward to seeing the Dalai Lama, read his autobiography a few years ago and found it fascinating. Definitely a must see for me!

[LondonTom]

not to disrespect anyone from Hull but why would anyone watch a documentary on Hull?

Come home from work, sit down whack the tv on and just skimming through the channels, ahhhh here we go BBC4 "Hull: The City of Dreams" perfect

Well one was more just featuring Hull, as they were travelling along the East Coast on a train and the other other was about the fishing boats from Hull. (I only remember them as my dad happened to have them on the TV recently, I am not some sort of mad Hull enthusiast whose never actually visted. ).

Hmmm, you sure about that?

The fake boobs are actually very cleverly disguised weapons , kind of a Bond esque gadget...
