Possibly the youngest efester?

Not bad taste card for your age mate! 

Has @Miyn actually proven whatever it was that @circus92 was trying to prove? I.E. that taste has nowt to do with age?

I asked for that for Christmas! Santa didn't deliver though so I'll have to treat myself.

I remember seeing Beans on an afternoon at an early SGP, him and Frank were both due on at the same time the next day, in between songs he mentioned he was a bit gutted cos they were mates and he'd liked to have watched him. I remember he said:

"If you want to see a proper good show, go and see Frank tomorrow. If you want to see a man who's stayed up all night doing everything he can get his hands on, come and see me."

Got the beans book recently, it’s a great read. Won’t spoil it for you but some great glastonbury anecdotes. Looking forward to seeing frank in his spring tour and hopefully at the festival as well.

55 and can't really name so many but hopefully will be at the front for Aerosmith.

 

Would love to see Too many zoos and the blue man group

I was thinking that as well but remember at that tender age I was into led Zep, Floyd, deep purple, Bowie and pretending to understand what King Crimson were all about!    So decent taste isn’t the preserve of the twenty somethings. 

RAF great coat, hours in virgin records and hmv stores,  latest album under my arm, bum fluff chin, jumpers for goal posts etc etc etc ! And thinking about being 16 soon.

Hey Miyn,  nice choices 👍

You obviously went to your first Glastonbury last year at the tender age of 14 - how did you find it?  The reason I ask is my daughter is going this year, and she has just turned 14.  She is really excited, but nervous as well.

Happy Birthday 🥳😄

I might have to search out the Beans book, wasn't aware of it until you mentioned it.

I saw Frank at his recent tour which was acoustic and a bit stripped back. Was one of the best gigs I've ever seen him at (apart from last year's Avalon headline slot where I was lucky enough to dance with him during Four Simple Words. Nothing is ever going to top that!)

What's the chances of him being back after being there in 19? I'd love him to be there as I only managed to be on the path leading into Strummerville for his "not so" secret set so I basically missed him. Had no chance of seeing his Avalon set but 1 of my group was raving about it at work the next morning which didn't help my hangover.

I reckon there's more chance with REM than XTC, and there's no chance of REM.

2. Kendrick, Paul McCartney, Thom Yorke, Solange, Crack Cloud, Mdou Moctar.

3. Kate Bush and Talking Heads (yes, I know) .

I loved it, the best weekend. Highlights were The Cure, The Killers and Foals' not so secret set.

I went to a couple of sets on my own as my Dad @Kim Wrong-Unwas doing his duty taking my 11 year old sister to George Ezra and Dynamo. After a day or so I knew my way around. 

So pleased to have discovered Glastonbury and that we bagged tickets in the last couple of minutes of the sale for this year.

Before I went I couldn't understand when people said they would go irrespective of the line up but now I've experienced it I would love to go any year whoever is playing.

Finally making it to Glastonbury after years of watching on TV and finding myself watching the end of Basil Brush whilst hearing Kylie on the Pyramid was one of the more surreal moments of my life.

🤣🤣 🤣

I am in the exact same position this year - watching on TV for as long as I can remember, finally gonna make it this year, with a 14 year old and a 10 year old in tow!!  Sounds very similar 😀

You'll have a ball I'm sure. One or two compromises of course but everyone had a great time and got to see most of what they wanted to see.

We even managed a trip around the naughty corner on Friday night before catching the end of Jon Hopkins.

One thing that helped was a couple next to us at the Foals set giving my daughter a couple of plastic pint glasses to turn upside down and use as stilts for a better view.

She made good use of them for the rest of the weekend especially when stood with our backs against a barrier or sound desk (which was also good for sitting down between bands).

Biggest mistake we ever made was not going to glasto or indeed any festival with our kids when they were young. Of course that was a few decades ago and reckon the festival now caters more for kids. So enjoy the festival with yours, it's giving them and you  an experience of a lifetime!  I would encourage all parents to do the same.

That's exactly the idea.  And we might just all become hooked!

That’s so 2019. 2020 is my year of hope over logic. 😀
