♫Glastonbury 2017♫

[wakeytom]

Yeah bit like a cocktail, JC will provide the bitters taste

No politics. The day time run of the pyramid stage this year on the Saturday ticks all the boxes for me. Very happy with this

Craig David up next, really mixing it up which is the point of it for me

Yeah Craig David is actually pretty good live [emoji106]

Technology - dont you love it. I remember 20 years ago you had to wait for the live show on the BBC in the evening and they had maybe 1 song from each of the big groups on during the day as highlights - now I am already in to my second act live

You do realise it's a piss take? A spoof article.

Yes but the sort of the thing that isnt far fetched. It just made me chuckle.

Bitter sweet watching it - love the music but feel I should be there, like everytime I have watched for 20 odd years

Of course he'll do that. That's what politicians do but I don't have a problem with it for a few minutes. As I've said, Glastonbury's always been a left-leaning festival. Btw, I think your wrong on other Labour leaders. For example, Blair could have easily done it. We forget just how popular he was, even before his two landslide victories. He may not have got the crowds that JC pulled but he was treated like a rock star wherever he went in the election campaign of 1997.

Not entirely true..... vast swathes of able bodied public school boys and girls head for the festival scene every summer, particularly in the West Country.... so the balance is not as left as you seem to think..... right-on.. yes...

Still watching catch up.

Chrissie Hynde has still got it.

Sorry sorry sorry, just a quick one.
If Corbyn has seen an opportunity to engage kids into an interest in politics and voting then it is a good thing.
The kids ain't stupid they can make their minds up and like him or boo him and luzz things at him if they want.
And there are plenty of adults there too.
But I know he is doing it for popularity and the majority are probably left but if they are stealing the march on going into these different arenas then good for him, if the crowd want it.
The others should be adapting to do the same and bring in a section of the public that are bored with politics and hate these people that they only see lying and behaving like children on TV and in The Commons.

Great ain't it

(the flag not Craig David that is)

Watching The Pretenders on iplayer, a repeat of yesterday's appearance.

What a brilliant performance, Hynde's unique voice is still special. You can visibly see the huge audience warming to a great set by great musicians.

Why politicise a festival?.... all ways the summer festival scene has been an oasis from the battles of real life we all have to face.... I say it's a dodgy thin end.., soon every scheme or agenda will be up grabbing the non music slots at festivals..... boo to that I say.

Left-leaning I said. And that's true. Now back to the music, again..

Agree with this. Music for many is a way to get away from everyday life (it certainly is for me) and a festival is a way to completely get away. It is sad to see politicians using it as their own platform

Totally agree.

There's an arrogance to Eavis with this, assuming that his music loving attendees will all be of Corbyn's mindset. There will be 10,000's there with no interest in party politics or perhaps views the other way.

Thats the thing, as much as many will like it there will be loads that are not bothered or have opposing views and it can take you out of that mindset bubble

It's a festival that has changed flavour since daughter took over.... Jayzee, Beyonce and Corbyn.... sheesh.

Just had a look to see if they have the old 'World Music' stage down there still. I saw late greats Nusrat Fateh Ali Kahn and also SE Rogie, among others there many years ago.

It seems that nowadays it's called the West Holts stage and the line up looks rather tasty! http://www.songlines.co.uk/world-mu...t-holts-stage-artist-signings-with-songlines/

Just settling down to the Pat Thomas set now on iPlayer

Looked to me that the fella who owns Glastonbury is a fan of Corbyn, it's his show at the end of he day.
