Nope - though obviously they stopped calling it The Shafterlife fairly quickly.

So - I think there was a Seven Circles Of Hell tunnel set up with - and this is the gist of it - a place called something like Rectum Alley that was wallpapered with greasy-looking porn.

Unless I hallucinated it.

These are my pics from there in 2013.

I don't remember the year, but there was a small exhibition venue in Shangri-La area that had a collection of vagina plaster casts.  They were selling fridge magnets with them on.  I still have mine stuck on the fridge at home!

Yeah - from the same set-up I think.

Secret bars. Seen a few. There was a strange telephone box in Shangri-la on its first arrival took you off to a secret bar. There were also doors in yhe Shangri-la la bit later that you couldn't really tell were doors, on one occasion I saw someone knock a wall and it was actually a door and I did the same and  I went into a small bar that was rammed. There was also an entrance to a bar that took you into a small garden area but it was well hidden. Of course everyone knows about the rabbit hole secret bit where you crawl through the tunnel into a rave area. And everyone must know the underground piano bar where the bouncers can be abit....well....passive aggressive lol.

Unsure of the year but I definitely went to a bar which looked like the set of Old Gregg’s lair which was called Fish ‘n Tits in Shangri La during the micro venues phase. Walked in past a body painted mermaid to watch some dancers dressed as eagles or similar on stage. Halcyon days IMO.

I miss that incarnation of Shangri-La; definitely my favourite!

I loved the Shangri-la lanes at the start, 2008ish was it, I think they only lasted a year or two I think but they were great, proper Blade Runner dystopia stuff and loads of hidden micro venues. The venue which had a bloke DJing old Commodore 64 music was a particular favourite of mine (I think that was a bit later), it was pure quality for people of certain age, brought bank many happy memories of my childhood!

My best memories of Glastonbury are the ones I cant remember! Or the ones I just have snapshots in the back on my brain. I remember I go absolutely twatted one year and had absolutely no recollection of anything other than a snap shot in my brain of a small pond and a small, windy path, and some bloke telling me to f&*k off out of there.  I had no idea where I was or how i eventually managed to get back to my tent that night

My only memory the next say was those snapshots, but i had no idea where I had been so I spent a lot of next day trying to retrace my steps from the last place I had a coherent memory of, being Shangri La

Eventually worked it out, I was fumbling my way through the (closed) Permaculture Garden at 4am and falling over many, many times, and especially lucky not have fallen in the pond/trees and drowned

Happy days indeed

Fish & Tits was cancelled due to the woke PC gone mad that they have now.

... but they still allow the stall who sells shirts with the word "c**t" on and I think only sell them in children's sizes! Always make me laugh, I would love to know how many they sell each year

the "**" are replaced by "un" above by the way on the shirt

2010, I was pregnant so completely sober, me and my not pregnant, so completely wasted, sister got bored watching Gorillaz and bimbled to Shangri-la. First thing we went into was the Pig Faced Geisha bar where on stage was a man in white vest and shorts, blond wig, depicting the "Boris Johnson Sex Olympics" (for the youngsters he won London Mayor before 2012). 

It is the opposite of memory fuckage, I wish it wasn't real but it haunts my dreams.

I remember fish and tits 🙂

Fish and Tits and generally all of that area was so good, messy af and loads of secret bits, I remember walking into a little rave room to see a fella squeeze between some fencing so we followed straight through to the trash city bar....done up like a cocktail bar with big white piano..the lot, with about 3 people in it!!! I miss trash city😪
