Exploring new art-forms


Tigerdragon

Recommended Posts

So we talk about the music a lot, and rightly so. But since Glastonbury is so fantastically diverse, I want to know what not-strictly-music acts you're going to see - especially if its a completely new art-form for you personally.

 

Since I don't know very much about so many acts playing, it's really easy to just flick past amazing acts, so it'd be nice to get to know other people's finds and maybe end up having a few different things to look forward to, that I'd just never get the chance to do on a Friday night otherwise (though I know bumping into these things is a very good way to get the job done, too!)

Mine is the Haka group performing at the Gully on Friday, about noon. I don't know if I'll see the whole hour, but it looks really interesting. I've never seen the Haka outside New Zealand (and some of the other pacific islands) rugby on TV. Here's a clip:

I'm determined to spend some time in the circus fields this year, as I only ever go there to get somewhere else.  Ditto with the Green Fields.  Got a lot of "dead space" where there aren't any bands I'm really excited about, so I'm going to make the most of it.

 

I may also drag myself to the speaker's forum or the university if I can motivate myself, but I make no promises!

    • 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:
