I'm pretty sure it was 94. The year @fatyeti24 left for Pilton, a callow youth and returned with a wacky hat, a suntan, a hoarse voice and tales of shootings.

fuzzy_logic Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I have a memory from the early 90's of a large marquee that was some kind of 'cannabis / hemp awareness' type set up that during day was quite boring - leaflets, posters etc but at night turned into a massive rave. One night a fire engine pulled up outside, the firemen all got out and started dancing like mad men on top of the fire engine in full kit.

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if this has been mentioned before - wasn't there a Rizzla tent at some point? Was that way back, or is it still there? I really can't recall. It's just that I read fuzzy_logic's post above, and it automatically came in to my head - if you'll excuse the expression.

I remember the Rizla tent! It was a den of iniquity as I recall. I think that was a while back but I couldn't say exactly when it went.

uscore Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Before the super fence years, i used to entertain mine and neighbouring camping areas with my near-average rendition of Wonderwall on an almost tuned acoustic guitar.

I think that it may have gone on later than a lot of other venues too, but that may be a phantom memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuartbert two hats Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) We used to shout "bollocks". That was fun. Edited February 28, 2019 by stuartbert two hats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd forgotten about that, but recall it now. It used to be shouted a lot on the Sunday evening where I camped. It would cross the field in a Mexican wave stylee. At first, I did wonder why it was being shouted, but then it occurred to me that it might be people's expression of unhappiness that the festival was ending. However, since then, on this site, I'm sure I've read that 'Blollocks' was shouted on other days too. Any clarification on this would be appreciated.

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 I've just remembered that one of my brothers used to go to Glastonbury years before I ever did. He said that there were makeshift stalls amongst the campsites, which sold hash hot knives, and heroin for afters. I guess you made your own fun at night, after visiting one of those stalls. I'm pretty sure one could stare at one's own belly button for hours after that kind of indulgence, and be pretty happy with your lot. My brother told me that he smoked heroin at Glastonbury. He is absolutely barking mad now. Not sure if it's as a result of his indulgences, or whether it's hereditary! lol Which reminds me - I recall a makeshift stall near the area which was, then, called Top Webbs Ash. They used to do tea, coffee, chocolate bars, and had rolling papers with Property of HM Prison Service ________ . The underscore is because I can't remember the name of the prison. I now wonder if these were actually 'liberated' from a prison supply, or whether they were a gimmick. What I can tell you is that you couldn't have got them printed up as cheaply as you could nowadays. Still none the wiser though. Oh, and by the way - they must have made a tax free fortune off the tea and coffee alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo Music Girl Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 The "bollocks" thing wasn't unique to Glastonbury. That happened at Reading in the late 90s too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really not what happened, there were tens of thousands of us mainstream folk there coexisting and loving seeing them and their stuff and way of life. As for @Yoghurt on a Stickthat cheap Costa coffee line doesn't do yourself or the current festival any favours and it detracted from your point with that aspect.

Flysheet Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 Joe Bananas was always on the Williams Green crossroads and was lively all night in the early 90s. Used to camp in Kidney Mead and always got waylaid till daylight. Remember we had the outdoor cinema there as well. Bizarre having sound but no pictures as the sun came up ?

Flysheet Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I vaguely ‘recall’ being somewhere on site in, I reckon it was 92, probably up somewhere near the Greenfields. There was some sort of Arthurian legend thing going on, with dragons and fire, probably on the Thursday night... Anyone else...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rizla tent played drum and bass quite late it was there in 2000 maybe later. the Bollocks chant often started if a drop of rain was felt, so you could hear the rain coming with the chant. Then I think it just happened randomly at times as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember in 2004 there being a stall in the markets between the Other stage and Pyramid near to where the Radio 1 stage was that used to blast out tunes after R1 had finished. Pretty sure it was of the hardcore/ happy hard-core genre. Not sure if it was called Spunky or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
