Glastonbury

[Jordi Culé]

I loved ZX fluxes (remake of the original) when they first came out a few years ago.

If you want a pair of comfortable Adidas shoes, try the Ultra Boost My ones are are around 2/3 years old now but still in great shape and are perfect for gym use

Some of the original ZX range particularly the 250s, 380s, 500s, 600s and 700s were great daps. The ZX flux things just make me ill when I looked at them.

That’s an age thing butt.

Worn the ultra boost for running, decent enough

Once 1992.

Got talked into it on the Friday afternoon after one too many bottles of Michelob.

I went equipped with a bag of illegal substances and dough.

Crawled the fence (I was ****ed on acid), got into a row with a Wurzel (I was ****ed on E, so much for the love drug eh), had a liaison with some girl from Bristol, which caused the row with he Wurzel (perhaps there is something in E after all), wandered about aimlessly for two days, shit in a field, ruined a yellow Jacket and a pair of Adidas Montreal, came home on the Monday and received an absolute ****ing from my then employers (I was still ****ed when I went in on Tuesday).

Would I do it again?

I would love too but I think the wife wouldn’t be too pleased with the liaison.

1992 was a great year for bands

Sadly you clearly wandered around off your cake causing trouble

It's time to grow up

Never do it again. I was distraught about the daps for at least a week.

Everything else mind...

Think I missed Primal Scream?

It was great

A rites of passage

But a young mans game

I would like to meet the hippy lady reading tarot cards again though , the readings were complete bollocks but she was gorgeous and I would love to get back inside her tent

I was 21.

Couldn’t do it now. Think the Friday afternoon I had before entering the hired transit van would finish me now

Never been attracted to big festivals although I’ve done loads of outdooor events. Too busy, too much going on for me.

In defence of my behaviour at that time, it was the norm.

Been to a few metal festivals but like glastonbury it's long 3 days

Saw sabbath, original line up , at milton Keynes bowl in 1998 supported by TOOL , a fantastic gig , sabbath were all off their heads but on top form

But the day started at midday with various support acts and by the time sabbath came on I was glad , I was knackered

Thank god it was a hot summer day though , cant stand getting soaked watching a band or indeed watching ccfc

My old man went to the first Glastonbury when it was called the Pilton Fesival in 1970. He claims to have washed his hair in the rain. He also claims that he booked Pink Floyd at Barry Memorial hall and Slade and Back Sabbath at the Paget Rooms in Penarth. He also claims to have auditioned to sing for the Swinging Blue Jeans. I'm not sure about that one.

Pink Floyd did indeed do Barry Memorial Hall, about 1970 I think. Bands like Slade, Sweet and others did the local college circuit too., We even had T.Rex at our school dance, booked before they had any hits and were committed to the gig. I also saw Pink Floyd at the Top Rank in Cardiff. And I went to Isle of Wight 1970 when i was 15. Never been to Glastonbury though and at 65 (today) I don't fancy it either.

Never went to Glasto. Festivals are not really my thing. I've been to a few though. My favorite is Primavera. There's no camping and the hotel is right a across the street. You can basically chill in an air-conditioned room and then pick and choose who you want to see. I think I saw Devo, Public Enemy and Massive Attack there.

[Taunton Blue Genie]

I've never been although it's in my neck of the woods. Howewever, now I have my day van with a bed in it I may give it a whirl.

I would love to go to Primavera. Need to go to an international festival again but next year, I will probably go to Lovebox

Pukklepop in Belgium is great, sunny weather, beautiful festival site and very reasonable

Pukkelpop is probably my second favorite. Good times.

My first Glastonbury was 85 - drove straight in and parked near the main stage. headlining was Ian Dury & Blockheads, he certainly hit us with a rhythm stick although the thai grass played it's part. My next visit was 95 Glastonbury was changing full of essex boys the hells angels were gone, I can't remember who was headlining but I remember seeing Oasis and Orbital, **** me there was some potent acid going around that year.

The last time was 2011 my first time sober I was asked to DJ and for once I took a tent and was in the fields with showers. I seen BB King before he passed on, Beyonce was headlining but the highlight for me was seeing Jimmy Cliff on the small stage....Glastonbury as got to big and 2011 was just full of the hunter wellington boot brigade which thinking back the hells angels and bad boys of 85 would have loved it would have been an easy weekends work.

Late 80’s early 90’s it was the New Age travellers that Eavis had to let in and placate, not sure many of them go anymore. The festival is still one of the best in the world but it has changed a lot since I last went in 2005 I think it was

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

I was so out of it in 86 I slept under a burger van

I had no idea where my tent was

Getting back to the tent in the dark full of drugs and alcohol without tripping over 400,000 guy-lines deserved a Duke of Edinburgh Award

There was definitely an art to that.....parkour style. Going back to the tent was sometimes like a strategically planned operation, it had to be really really worth the bother....

[Moodybluebird]

Saw Arthur Lee and Love from a 2003 set. It was absolutely wonderful.

Think my son was there too see Arthur Lee's Love. I was very envious as Forever Changes is a great album.

Not been able to get my head around the heel of Montreal’s.
Lovely looking then vile at the back.

Phoenix 96 has been the best festival I have attended.
Brilliant line up and a fabulous time (traffic aside).

I went to a couple of Lollapalooza’s and as much of a Janes Addiction/Perry Farrell fan as I am...
It just didn’t cut it compared to UK festivals.

Been planning on Coachella for a while.
Hopefully next year.

Jane's addiction, fantastic band

Nothings shocking is groundbreaking

And porno for pyros did some good stuff too

Phoenix 96 as in uk ?

I went to that , faith no more did a blinding set if I remember

[Blue Dwr]

Watching the highlight show on BBC2 and loving it.
Any of you lot been?

I've been once, 1990 and loved every minute of it. Happy Mondays who were my favourite band at the time were rubbish. But the whole experience was brilliant. Didn't buy a ticket, but jumped the fence.

Didn't even have a tent, but luckily bumped into a few lads from Brynmawr who let us crash in theirs.
Couldn't believe how big the site was.
Would I go again? I'm not sure. Would you?

My first time was 1982

Went to see Aswad.

Went the next 4 years. All a total blur!

They still had the nudist fields back then didn’t they?

No idea! Like I say, went for 5 years and can probably count all the bands I can remember on 2 hands!
