Festival Diary: Fun Fest and Glasto

Arriving at Bowood House, in Wiltshire, straight away we all thought what a beautiful place, I mean, it just felt royal! It was a shame that the grey clouds were lurking over. Fortunately, the rain held off for my gig, but while that was the good news, I was smacked round the face with a power cut during the set. Matt the drummer took full advantage of the situation and broke into a solo, while the rest of the band and myself starting playing frisbie with the crowd, now while that being lots of fun and all, the power came back on and we went on to nail the set.

Coming off stage, I bumped into Sam Sparro, he said he was listening to the set from the side, and enjoyed it.

After this silly picture of me, he recommended the BBQ, damn was he right!!! Cheers Sam.

Early arrival at Glastonbury! We were greeted with sunshine, WOW. The drill for me was to stay focused (meaning sober), load in and get ready to perform. Knocked the performance out the park, had a ball, however during this experience I definitely saw the disadvantage of performing in a tent while the sun is blazing, but the outcome was still very positive. A good mate of mine then went on after, ‘Natty’, and tore it…

That Saturday evening, I can’t remember much, but watching JayZ was amazing!!!

Continuing onto the next day, Sunday. I was still very hazy, which didn’t help the fact I was still hanging out with ‘Jack Daniels’ from the night before…

Please don’t ask how, but through what I think was Jedi mind trickery I made it on this stage with Mr.Ronson and the version players…

… It was emotional…

After saying bye to ‘Jack’, I said goobye to Glasto. Thank you ‘bury’ until the next time I hope.
