s6k Glastonbury Roundup (17) RE: Glastonbury Roundup 26 Jun 05


just finished another 5 hours in front of the TV, the last for this year, and there is no festival next year so the last until 2007

now then, where to start!
we begun the night on a low note! i was watching from 9pm-ish - and there was ian brown on one stage and basement jaxx on the other. and freeview did NOT allow choices of other artists tonight!!! so i dont like either of these bands, so it wasnt that good, but suddenly, surprisingly, it picked up!

first off, i saw Steve Earl performing "rich mans war" on his own acoustic, amazing performance, and started off the great stuff i saw through until 2am (which is the time now, and im up at 7am!!!)

after this, i saw billy bragg on his own doing a song about facsists, that was really good also.
i saw Baaba Maal, who had an hour on bbc4 last night, but bbc2 put him on doing an acoustic song "Koni" with a hige backdrop of the festival goers walking slowly through the mud, it fitted perfectly with the music and was a really nice song.

i was very surprised also to see that the Wailers were playing. i never knew until just now, and didnt see any coverage on TV, but am a huge bob marley fan, and would loved to have seen them.

the rest was highlights, and there was loads of great stuff that was nice to see again. Keane i enjoyed again, and Brian Wilson also did an amazing set.
