Glastonbury

[Cloverjo]

I was feeling a bit nostalgic for the two times I went in the late 80s so ‘tuned in’ tonight. All those kids, including the wonderful Billie Eilish, weren’t even a twinkle when I last went
I felt so old. I’ll have to wait for Diana Ross and Paul McCartney to get on stage before I feel relatively young again.

Anyone watching? Memories etc?

[Buenchico]

I've not been watching but I plan to catch up on iPlayer.

It's really only in recent years that I've 'got into' music, so I missed out on gigs and festivals. (I was brought up in a 'classical music only' house. The nearest to pop music I ever heard in my early years was Gilbert and Sullivan! I then became the geek at college who, when everyone else was wearing jeans and sweatshirts, always wore a collar and tie. The 'gigs' I attended were concerts by the Hallé Orchestra, the Vienna Boys Choir, The Spinners and Ralph McTell. So I wasn't exactly 'in the groove' musically!).

These days I've got very eclectic musical tastes and there's usually something that I can really enjoy in the Glasto coverage.

I should watch...and search for my daughter and her partner.

[Buenchico]

Wouldn't you find searching for your daughter and her partner a distraction from the music though, Pasta?

I think that might be a bit like when I go to the theatre and (through having worked on stage lighting myself) I then find myself studying all of the lighting changes, rather than following the action!

[Cloverjo]

Buenchico, I think you might have loved it, back in the day, in a weird way.

I’ve got mixed thoughts and feelings on Glastonbury. It’s all supposed to be music, peace, love etc. but someone stole my shoes and the loos were completely horrendous.

Anyway, looking forward to Noel’s High etc tomorrow

Chris...I can multi-task ;)

If you're watching today, look out for this Burnley lass on the Introducing stage;

[Prudie]

I'm not actually following it at all although I know several work colleagues who are there. Anyway flicked it on for 10 minutes yesterday and caught a band and song I've never heard of but blew me away instantly - Wet Leg and Chaise Longue.

[Zacs-Master]

I wonder how all the vegans attending feel about being on a working dairy farm?

[pastafreak]

Daughter just sent me photos of the nightly light show...better than fireworks.

[Ken4155]

I stand corrected - according to local radio - the Burnley lass is on tomorrow.
