If I hadn't been to Glastonbury I would never have...

Sat in my yard at home crying like a baby in early July

Tried Brothers Pear Cider

Be confident enough  to be the only person dancing at a stage at 12.00 lunchtime

Not be judge on anything other than - who I am and how I talk to people.

Have the confidence to not think all strangers are bad.

Stop being over judgemental - everyone has a story, Glastonbury gives people the confidence to share those stories.

Is this something that's anyone at the festival can do or was it something that you had been part of previously (or whatever?). It's something I'd love to do with fellow festival goers.

I'd never sung in public before. It was 2010 - I wandered into a singing workshop that was happening in the Healing Field (I was looking for a yoga group but got the time wrong, it was hot and I wanted some shade) and we ended up singing on the Healing Fields Stage that afternoon. It was AMAZING. I did take part in a similar thing in 2011 but after that I wasn't able to find the people who led the workshops - they were called Bee and Ben, and I think they no longer attend
