I agree wholeheartedly. Absolutely brilliant & perfect for a blazing hot day!

Enjoyed that.  I bet that field smelled rather 'aromatic' during their set...

They were bloody excellent I must say

Did you turn up expecting reggae in the sunshine?Not really much reggae.I've seen them before so know they're a bit  different, it was me who suggested westholts book them and West Holt's think they were great too

Soon as I saw them on the lineup I had them down as someone to go see. Great set

Just watched it back again and my what a set that was. If you got them booked as you say @Neil then thanks for the input to the bookers. They had some great stuff on over the w/e but I only caught3 sets at WH due to clashes. Third World, BC,NR who were also class and Barrington Levy also.

Third World are in my top 3/equal 3rd of sets over the weekend easily, great from start to finish. Not REALLY reggae but amazing nonetheless.

their singer is unbelievably good

i've definitely been nagging the booker for years  to book them, and it was his booking skill that made it happen. 🙂

We may have differing opinions on GNR (I thought they were f**king brilliant just had a crowd that didn’t give 2 f**ks) but on Third World we can agree. The opera vocals at the end were amazing.

 

did you see Barrington? I know you’re a reggae man- thought he was great too. Not as good as Third World but thoroughly enjoyed his set. Especially when he refused to leave as they were picking his kit away at the end of his set and he was going acapella 🤣

Shame. Great set. Not as good as Third World but great.

always try and sleuth out some reggae on WH when lucky enough to get a ticket and this year didn’t disappoint.

Happened to be in the area after some time "healing" so dragged some friends on your recommendation, Neil.

Good choice.  Not your typical reggae type is it?!  Combined wiht the food, drink and space to move around in, really enjoyed them,

'Time to say goodbye' left us a little emotional shall we say 😥 lack of sleep probably.

Will pinch that off the iplayer for sure

[Skip997]

Missed  this

Clashed with African Head Charge, IIRC

[Quark]

Just seen they're playing Brighton next Friday.  Based on the positive reviews I've seen on here I might get myself a ticket

[bamber]

Brilliant. Try Jah 💘 

I'm guessing that I must be in a very elite group who saw them both times they've played?

[vans]

Stumbled across them on my way to something else and stayed for the whole set. Really enjoyed it

[Fishinginthelongdrops]

The group I dragged along to see them all absolutely loved it.

[stuartbert two hats]

I did not expect the opera!

i've seen them twice before both at festivals (reggae sunsplash, London '83 i think; and one love festival about 5 years ago), but not Glastonbury. Glastonbury was the best yet, but they're always a bit different and require your concentration to get the best from them, if 'cat' does his guitar thing, that slows it right down from reggae tunes.

glad i didn't give you a duff one. definitely not typical its what makes them stand out, and why i've been nagging steve to book them (which he finally did 🙂 ).
