So I wouldn't trust a word she says. Oh that is a shame. I quite like listening to her on the radio! Should pay more attention! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaledonianGonzo Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I've been switching off the radio when Huey finishes long before Liz came out for Brexit. Her gammon coefficient has long been stratospheric. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a really good atmosphere usually and much more fun than it sounds. It was there that I first came across Louise from She Drew the Gun and it made me get up early on the Sunday to trudge up to see them open the Park. Was that the one with Ralph McTell too? We all ended up singing along to Streets of London. One of my highlights of Glasto '17. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my highlights of Glasto '17. Yeah that was a real highlight that year. Also the Sunday Billy had lost his voice so got the crowd to sing for him, he led us through Where Have All The Flowers Gone, it was one of those emotional Glastonbury moments I couldn’t hold back the tears. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 We wandered into the left field just as Ralph mctell started streets of London, absolutely emotional and quite a few had tears in their eyes. Don’t think he had been announced anywhere as going to play. Would love to see him back again this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barstewards, Hobo midnight show, Devils Prefects (Junkyard dogs do country, knocking one out for Jesus always a highlight), Funke, Sladest (Slade tribute act consisting members of Vodka Jellies Karaoke, normally features Michael Eavis guest appearance at the start), Cut Capers, Drystones, Keston Cobblers, Rory McLeod. I should probably say 3 Daft Monkeys but I've seen them so many times, they've started to annoy me. Avoid Lloyd Grossman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerqueen Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Barstewards are great fun and Funke are good too. Sladest would be a brilliant singalong depending on when it's on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Rory McLeod. He’s there most years, but for me, it’s a pilgrimage. Got to pay my respects. He’s basically the reason I live like i do now. When i was 16 or so, i heard one of his songs on a compilation (love like a rock). I bought the album it came from, Heartbeats and Footsteps, and being of a somewhat impressionable age, wallop, that was me gone. It’s an album about traveling, about being a busker, about drinking tea in North Africa, vodka in Eastern Europe, about singing around campfires and falling in love with exotic foreign girls. I can’t tell you enough how listening to that record changed my life. If it weren’t for Rory, I’d have left school and got a job in an office, collar and tie, 9-5. As it is, I’ve spent the last 25 years living all over the world, having adventures, getting drunk, being daft and avoiding all responsibility. The man’s got a lot to answer for. 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
