Which stage for the Oyster Band?
An absolute gem I have discovered is that Biggles Wartime band are on at the Circus Croissant Neuf stage on Sunday at 1PM.(Croisssant Neuf is the very obvious big stripy matquee, up the hill in the Green Field area).
To see Biggles with a Glastonbury audience up the hill with the hippies is one of the unalloyed pleasures of life....totally ridiculous immaculate jugband music, if youve never seen them.Eliza Carthy, and Rory McLeod, are both on at the Avalon stage sometime, but I havent found out when yet.
   Glastonbury, I have found over the years, is as good a festival to hear folk as any, both for big names and delightful discoveries. The knack is to find out who is on where(and keep your ears open when wandering aimlessly around).
   Generally speaking
