• Glastonbury 2010 - Diary - Friday Worthy Lane, Shepton Mallet Somerset England

  Published: 24th June 2011

  Friday… People think Glastonbury is all about sitting in the chillax field, propped up against a teepee shooting the breeze with a couple of ld grizzled hippies. Well let us tell you – we’ve never been so busy in our lives. We arrived on Thursday morning and the haystack that was the festival contained the needles that were our passes to get us in. Like the trials of Hercules or summat we went from the Red Car Park to pedestrian gate C battling heat and dust with only cans of cider to slake our thirst – it was 10.30am after all. Like some cold war spy thriller we had a contact, and we had to meet him for the exchange of passes to take place. Trouble was, Bez was our contact, and as most people know he&rsq

• Glastonbury :The Facts Behind The Worlds Biggest Music Festival. Worthy Lane, Shepton Mallet Somerset England

  Published: 27th June 2010

  GLASTONBURY: THE FACTS AND FIGURES BEHIND THE WORLD'S BIGGEST MUSIC FESTIVAL       WHEN a few hundred hippies gathered in a field near Glastonbury in 1970 no one could have envisaged that they were witnessing the birth of the world’s largest open-air music festival. It was the day after Jimi hendrix died and the £1 admission cost included milk from the nearby dairy farm.

Although memories of that first Glastonbury are now hazy it is widely accepted that a Bristol rock band called Stackridge has the distinction of being the first to perform at this no

• Glastonbury review 2010 Worthy Lane, Shepton Mallet Somerset England

  Published: 25th June 2010

          Glastonbury review 2010     The end of June means that the emperor of all festivals is back for another 1000-acre weekend of insanity for the 177,500 of us who managed to get hold of a ticket. As ever the build-up to this year's event attracted a lot of debate over the headliners - well, one headliner in particular. For when Irish rockers U2 were announced to be preparing for their first ever appearance at Worthy Farm, a collective sneer travelled around the internet, with a power that forced any Bono admirers into the closet and slammed the door. However, with Bono's joints not being what they used to be, the band pul
