A great way to arrive in the UK after the mission that was getting here. Glastonbury never fails to deliver in its size and chaotic vibe.. The masses start to arrive Wednesday and quickly the population of this makeshift city swells to nearly 200,000. I think it’s almost impossible to see every aspect of this festival which as a friend put it “represents every faction of society” in some part. From the chaotic pre-apocalyptic mental ness that is Arcadia to the beauty and freedom of Tipi village, from the Glade to the Piano bar hidden in a dug out trench and filled with erratic eclectic genius. From the impressiveness of the Pyramid stage to the humble brilliance of Small World.. I visited these places and more on my wandering across site, I think maybe I’ve covered the distance of a marathon or more!
I performed one gig on the Ancient Futures stage and put in a couple of impromptu performances in the Tipi village cafe and around the fire on Thursday night.. The gig went well considering we had one rehearsal. I’m really enjoying playing with Smiffy, whose presence both on Bass and in person is really helping in it’s openness and friendly support. I’m looking forward now to warming up for the Big Green Gathering on August 1st.
