Very true, ignore me, I’m just an old Luddite😉😊

Probably not true, but I always thought Maxi Jazz's (r.i.p) lyric about wanting the the view from the top of the hill in Feeling Good was an ode to, or about looking out at the crowd from the Pyramid Stage. 

Always makes me think of the Festival anyway 😁

Jo Hill has a song called ‘Glastonbury’ about the festival and also has another track called ‘The Circle’ which she has a live version recorded at the Stone Circle. Pretty cool

No mention of this classic by Adge Cutler?

Ferry to Glastonbury, predates the festival though,

If you want to listen to a prog rock version of this, check out the Emerson Lake and Palmer track on the brain salad surgery album😊😊😊😊😉. 
William Blake has been spinning in his grave since this was first released in 1973.

Wasn't this The Stones in 2013, doing Factory Girl but the lyrics changed to Glastonbury Girl? Don't remember Macca doing it, but was drunk and 20 years almost ago!

I think it may have been both 

I definitely remember Glastonbury girl

 

I only stayed at the stones for paint it black, then went and joined 30 scousers watching public enemy 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It was The Stones

Pulp's Sorted for E's and Whizz - the 'field in Hampshire' has been changed to Somerset, live, hasn't it?

They change it all the time depending on where they’re playing. Had Norfolk at Latitude

They sang "a field in Hampshire" when they were playing a field in Hampshire. 😛
