Tales of Glastonbury?

I wonder how many Accywebbers are at Glastonbury at the moment? I see it's been pouring down again and it's knee deep in mud!

I've always wanted to go to a festival but have never been ...yet! If you're an avid festival fan can you share some tales in this thread, I would love to hear your stories?

Why does it always rain at Glastonbury? It's always a sea of mud.

It's so big these days I don't think I'd want to go. I would feel claustrophobic with all those people.

Was Bill Bailey good ? He is my fave stand up by miles.

I'd have loved to see Iggy and the Stooges.

I've seen Iggy Pop three times, and he always goes the extra inch, to put on a good show.
