muddy glastonbury goooooooodness

yes.

it rained.

it rained more then 2005.

it rained everyday.

actually - it pissed it down everyday.

the loos smelt, the mud was thick, soft, watery, knee deep, shin deep, ankle deep, the tent leaked, the wellies were near on impossible to get off, the bus ride was nothing short of the most painful experience we have ever had.... but....

we had the time of our rockin live.

another glastonbury notch on the belt, and more loss of feeling in toes spent too long in water logged wellies. this years was just as good, if not better then the previous two times we went. we had a lot of glastonbury virgins who did the team immensely proud - as displayed by virgin luke thompson.

apart from the highs and lows of the impending floods - there was the music and we were truly spoilt for choice. the clear highlight would have to have been bjork. she was as bizarre as she was talented with one of the most amazing and diverse voices i have heard. other stand out gigs were our good friend the fabulous penetrators who pretty much personified the glastonbury rock n roll spirit.

so many other bands - but i won't bore you with my arm chair critique. i will give you a complete list though, more for my memories then your reading pleasure - in viewing order mind.

Friday: The Cribs, Modest Mouse, Good Shoes, Bright Eyes, !!!, Bloc Party, Good Shoes, Arcade Fire, Maccabees, Bjork.

Saturday: The Guillemots, Dirty Pretty Things, CSS, Babyshambles, Maximo Park, Mark Ronson, Madness, Fat Boy Slim, The Fabulous Penetrators.

Sunday: Marley Brother present the 30th anniversary of Exodus, The Rakes, Dame Shirley Bassey, Mark Ronson, Kaiser Chiefs, The Who, Chemical Brothers.

so we came, we sloshed, we drank, we sloshed in the mud. and as the glasto foot set in and we battled the bus trip home we were content in knowing that glastonbury 2007 will be a very very memorable one. by the way, the keen observers of you out there will realise that the photo above is of the littlest rocker at glastonbury, souri, all rigged up with her pack and attached umbrella. the ever so talented mr andrew kendall has loads of photos from the festival over on the nme's site.
