Got back at 6 this morning. What an absolutely brilliant weekend. Every single band / act that I saw were top quality apart from Sinead O'Connor who I thought was shyte! The highlights of the festival for me was Glenn Tillbrook (superb performance and exeeded my expectations which were already very high) and Crowded House who played their set in blazing sunshine. The mood, elish!

also loved...


The Levellers
Pama International
Vampire Weekend
Ben Folds
Editors
The Ting Tings
The Cribs
Seasick Steve
Martha Wainwright
Goldfrapp
Suzanne Vega
Amsterdam
The Verve (the only worthy headliners on the pyramid stage)

Did a fair bit of wandering this year after the sun had dried the Thurdsday night / Friday mudbath. Strangely, It actually made conditions better. The wellies came out only once.

Quality!
