It's that time of the year again. Fun down on the a farm somewhere in deepest, darkest Somerset. Anyone on here going or has been in the past? An interesting, eclectic line up I see this year, old and new, something for all.
I last went in 1979. Tom Robinson was there then. He's there this year I see.
watched quite a bit. mostly rubbish but enjoyed The Waterboys and Super Furry Animals. as for newer bands Slaves and Sleaford Mods both great. Both showing plently of punk rock spirit, but in different ways.

Loved the Slaves and Sleaford Mods, real intensity. Lianne Le havas was good as well. Weller was pretty good but the crowd were very apathetic.
It's redeemed itself tonight with Weller and I'm liking this Jamie T fella on BBC3. Never seen of him before The Who and Chemical Brothers to come
Yeah they played Jamie T a lot on XFM 8 or 9 years ago. Then I think he must have dropped off the map for a few years as far as making albums is concerned, and resurfaced again last year.
Pete Townshend you are a muvver fûcking legend! 'Whose the biggest rock star in the world!' Move over a sit in the gutter Kuntyou West! The Who pîss on you every fûcking time! Who are you!

Funny isnt it. I'm a big fan and reckon they've been gash. Wont get fooled again was good though
Sounds like the Fat Whites were up to their usual tricks in the early hours of Sunday moring, according to the Guardian:
Ben McLeavy, who has been keeping our technology running throughout the fest and we heart him, went to see the set with the most grot potential of the weekend: Fat White Family at 4 in the morning. What went down?
Three songs in and a rabbit is bellowing into Saul’s mic, “Ladies and gentleman be more appreciative. It’s The Fat White Family. At Glastonbury”. The bunny headed compere’s sentiment rings true: the crowd roar their approval and it’s truly rousing.
It’s 4am in Shangri-Hell and with songs that clang pleasingly like blunt knives being dropped onto a human skull staircase, Fat White Family become an instant early hours miracle. Honest.
Singer Lias is stripped to the waist and raised on a pedestal, a stance that could be considered regal were it not for the one hand permanently lodged in his trousers. It suits him: he’s a real deal dish for the terminally strung out.
The crowdsurfing begins during Cream of the Young. Touch The Leather, all trash-can drums and real horrorshow clatter, causes the crowd to spasm and for the next couple of songs it threatens to spill over into something more tangibly nasty. But the wave parts, the band finishes and Mark Ronson appears with a wink and an approving nod
Saw Sleaford Mods on small stage at Hyde Park on Friday night. So yeah one protest song strewn with expletives - great - but every song! Shouty 40 something and coked up mate on beatbox! Oooh gritty. In his own words a pile of stinking sh!te ....now f@ck off!

Yeah I don't get this Sleaford Mods love-in at all. Kanye isn't visually interesting and uses backing tracks and stuff and gets slagged off for it, whilst the Sleafords just stand there and rant and dance to a laptop with a crate of beers and that's revolutionary!
I agree that Jamie T was very good - stole a lot of Weller's potential audience I think - it looked rammed over there. Was certainly a lot more lively.
