'big last minute changes'

Go to Glastonbury website and check out the comment by Emily in response to the question

What are you busy with at the moment?
'some big last minute changes' - 'Something really exciting came through yesterday'

Now I'm really excited!

Lord of the Rings sings

Emiliana Torrini confirmed by Emily Eavis over on the Glastonbury website.

Wikipedia states that she's from Iceland and sang 'Gollum's song' at the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers film (I suspect Gollum let her, seeing as it was his song - nice chap all in all, Gollum).

Rumours

The rumour is that some Rumours may be played at Glastonbury this year. I got it from the rumour mill at eFestivals. It's only a rumour at the moment tho'!

Thrum! Thrum! Thrum!

What's that?

That's the sound of me thruming my fingers on the desk awaiting updates to the Glastonbury website with news of confirmed acts.

No updates as yet!

Thrum! Thrum! Thrum!

Rumours

There are no new rumours regarding Glastonbury 2009's lineup as far as I can see so I think I'll start my own

Fleet Foxes!

Makes sense; newish, up & coming, talked about a lot in the news...
If Emily has been doing her homework I think she woud have been looking into this band.

Speaking of rumours, Fleetwod Mac are a weak rumour on the Glastonburyfest.org site.

A Nice Pair

2 bottles of Brothers Pear Cider

Look what our local branch of Morrisons has started selling! Yes, Brothers pear cider as served at the Jazz World Stage at Glastonbury! Previously, we could only get it at Asda which was too far off to visit regularly.

Did I mention? They produce a nice pear (cider).


Guess what's going to be powering this blog from now on?

Nostalgia

It's around about now that you start thinking about the tent - and how glad you are that you're not camping in it! I mean, the snow's gone but come on! No, it's time for nostalgia. As the sun warms the stone wall, melting away the last remnants of snow that still clings stubbornly to colder days, a warm glow calls to mind; the summer of 2008

The yellow van at The Park selling vegetarian breakfasts
Earth-fired chocolate brownies and tea in china mugs
Alice in Wonderland land
Trash City
Brother's Pear Cider on warm evenings by the Jazz World stage

I could almost go out and set up the tent - but the weather forecast says it's going to be cold again...

Thank goodness for nostalgia!

Glastonbury Anthems

Kindle the fires of a June evening by watching Glastonbury Anthems The best of Glastonbury 1994 - 2004 on DVD.

'A Visit To The Glastonbury Greenfields' really fuels the anticipation. I picked it up for £6 which is a bargain in these times of austerity (go on, tell me you found it for less on cheapyvideopurchasestomakeothersjealous.com or some such site and spoil my day).

I've not watched the concerts yet which include; Frans Ferdinand - Matinee (a band confirmed for this year's festival), Primal Scream - Rocks (I love that track, I even bought the CD single when it came out and I never buy CD singles), The Prodigy - Breathe (I loved their Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned album) Faithless, Moby, Ash (who I saw in Swindon at the Oasis and it was the first concert I took my children to see!) and more!

I have to pace myself, there's still a long time to go before Wednesday, 24th June...

A Faraway Field...

The tickets have been ordered, Glastonbury has sold out, we don't know who's performing yet and there is snow on the ground! It seems further away than ever!

A brighter time... (2008)
