TobyCoulson Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I could help but laugh when I read The Mash's take on it I think the forecast is for heavy rain over the weekend. Has anyone been there when it's dry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey UC Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Nope – I went in 97, now that was proper mud. I remember the shear effort involved in just moving from one field to the next. And the toilets – I don’t think they lost anyone that year…. Was thinking of maybe taking the family next year – tickets permitting. Has any one else taken their kids?

charlie_pank Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Go somewhere nice instead... there are plenty of festivals more suited to kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Underhill Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I heard on TV this morning that Glastonbury has been going for forty four years. Eight of them have been dry. So, it's no surprise that things are getting a little moist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standard Noise Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Did the stewarding thing for a few year, last time was 2011, we had a couple of great years weather wise but a shower was always welcome overnight to keep the dust down. As for this year, well, it chucked down here last night (about 4 miles from Pilton by the crow) to the point the guttering was overflowing. Now it's chucking down again and I'm typing as I cuddle the dog cos we've had thunder & lightning with heavy showers for the last 40 mins. I had the 7 down at Taunton for the MOT this morning and came back before the rain, shame I had the roof up just in case, came out of it boiled, was a bit hot on the way back.

Mort Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Quoting Abbot: my eyes, My eyes, Ive just seen Blondie, Some people should concentrate on growing old gracefully. She seems to be wearing some sort of harness - presumably with invisible wires on it to help her stay upright......... Still, not bad for 68.

Steve-B Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 At least we missed the concert in Scarfolk which appears to be eclipsed in modern times by Piltonbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Rae Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I watched Robert Plan earlier and thought 'must go and see him one day'. A quick search found a tour in November, so I'm going to the Glasgow gig in November. I and my flat mates from Uni still kick ourselves for missing the Page and Plant tour in 1998, so the three of us are going to this one. Be good to be out and about together I'm Glasgow again.

BigCol Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Saw Robert Plant on tour at the Hammy Odeon on the 1980s... James Patrick Page was a special Special Guest for one of the encores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mort Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Bryan Ferry was better than expected. It would be great if the original Roxy Music could reform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techbod Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Back from Glastonbury today. That was the third time I've been and it provide the usual entertainment - bands plus all the other stuff that makes Glastonbury special. Ended up missing some of the bands I had meant to see and saw most of the others by accident. IIRC: Jake Issac, War on Drugs, Band of Skulls, Haim, Paolo Nutini, Shaolin Afronauts, Lana Del Ray, Robert Plant, Metallica, English National Ballet (opened by Billy Bragg), The 1975, Dolly Parton (and Richie Sambora), the Wailers , Alison Moyet, Suzanne Vega plus partial sets from some others. However I personally find the best bits of Glastonbury are the huge film like sets of the South East corner (the common, block 9 and Shangrila) and the 'other wordly'/wierd and wonderful stuff away from the main stages. This year overhead some pretty similar conversations whilst queuing - Goodwood, Henley, Epsom and pro's and cons of various coffee makers being ones that come to mind - gives some idea of the demographic that turned up. Took hundreds of photos, which I'll undoubtedly save on disk and then forget about so I've grabbed some to put on flickr or they will never see the light of day again: here (Just taken straight from camera, re sized and uploaded - no post processing and probably a few mistakes included). Should display chronologically from Tues evening to very early Monday morning. All in all, if not a vintage year, nevertheless a generally good Glastonbury I think.

Mort Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Another excellent Daily Mash take on girls sitting on shoulders at Glastonbury. 😬 There's an ad on the same page advertising the 20th Anniversary version of The Division Bell. I suddenly feel very old. Edited by - Mort on 1 Jul 2014 18:37:55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Elizabeth Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Lovely and sunny in 1993 I think. Laid on the grass listening to The Orb. And seeing them again at WeyFest in August with the young boy 😬 but less herbal cigarettes 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
