Glastonbury 3

Friday

Started a bit grey and over cast but after a breakfast of pancakes cooked by the brother unit we headed out to see some bands and do a lot more bimbling.

Music started with a very good set by KT Tunstal as bouncy and lovely as always actually the first time I've seen her live and have to admit she was very good.

Then it was off to see The Hoosiers who would be a surprise element for me and one we went to purely on the recommendation of a friend and was really glad we did, pure bouncy cheesey pop at its very best with the full cast of sing along tunes, dancing girls and lots of smiles deffinitly a band I will be looking into more in the future.

Took a break from Band watching to eat and get ready for the night, weather had been unsettled all day with slight showers but it was just slush under foot no major mud yet, either way a change to warmer clothing was needed.

Getting back to camp we muttered that it looked like the rain was over for the day and better weather was coming whiled listening to Gossip on the main stage who also sounded really good

Next on our bill was the Fun Loving Criminals, arriving to the set slightly late was no problem as the whole crowd was bouncing to King Of New York when we arrived, we simply bounced through them until we found Sally and Deedub, cowering behind an Ice cream van whiled Huey pounded out easily the best set of the day a real greatest hits showcase with Scooby Snacks, Fun Loving Criminals and pretty much every other song that has made them a huge hit. Was great.

The rest of evening was spent bimbling around the site missing the big name acts in favour of the "secret" gig of Franz Ferdinand on the Park stage forgotten how much I liked these guys this was followed by more bimbling around the site despite it being the early hours of the morning definitely felt like it was drying out.
