Yay for meteorology!!!

It was Glastonbudget this weekend, so we packed up our tents and went to camp in a field in Leicestershire! We got there about 7pm Friday evening, and were not the first peace and lovers to arrive but were fairly early. Sadly fires were not permitted so it was a pretty chilly evening andwe were glad of the scouse tent (a large tent we use the outer layer of to create a sort of meeting hall out of the wind). Last year there were only about 700 people at thisevent, this year there were about 2,500 we reckon, it was agood atmosphere and still not exactly overcrowded. From a camping point of view we were unfortunate that our neighbours had two small children who woke everyone up at 6am screaming.

the acts were pretty good, although some of the new bands were a little suspect, the point of glastonbudget is that they use tribute acts, and some ofthese were excellent. Saldy we missed Pink Fraud and Guns 2 Roses on sunday, leaving early because M was really pretty ill. Turns out it wasn't sunstroke or too much beer, coz he's still ill and now I have got it. Grrr. Colds all round i fear. Also on the bill and performing well were Ded hot chilli peppers, Clone Roses, Stereotonics, Oasish (try saying that after a few beers), Antarctic Monkeys and Mercury.

The real Chaz and Dave played on the sunday afternoon and were pelted with bunnies and the gang all bought there peace and love wristbands, (all profits to actionaid). We even press ganged one poor drunk into buying one.

Anyway, here's a few pics, coz i am still far too blech with cold to write anymore about it.

Green Days - a good energetic performance



Robbing Williams - I thought he did this well
