No Steve Hillage this year

Well I'm gutted. Steve Hillage has just personally confirmed to me via a reply to a comment I made on a System 7 post that he is not playing Glastonbury this year, either with System 7 or as the newly revitalised Steve Hillage Band. I would have thought he was a cert to perform on The Glade given that he's played so many times in the past and is hugely significant to the festival's development in the past. Now I'm starting to wonder if The Glade itself is no longer part of the festival.

Shit. I hope he's ok. I'm genuinely worried if he's ill. He usually turns up in some form or another doesn't he?

I don't think you should be too worried, Stuart. He does play most year's - closing the Glade last time round was a highlight for me - but not every year. Looking at their website, he's doing Japan in May, Noisily in July and (most frustratingly for me) Maui Waui in August, which is down the road from where I live and the annoyingly a weekend when I'm away.

Like many folk, I suspect, System 7 at Glastonbury is a tradition for me, and apart from one year in the last ten, I think he's been there, so it is gutting news, but I don't think there's reason to assume poor health.

Let's hope so, anyway

I’m sure the Glade will still be there, I hope so, that’s who I work for and I haven’t heard anything.
