BBC showed how to completely stuff up coverage. They sent radio presenters who were clearly more interested in carving out a TV career for themselves. Worst of all was Jo Whiley, for whom everything was "the BEST EVER!"

Only limited highlights of the bands (even on the red button) and randomly showing crap acts when they could be showing amazing acts (Black Eyed Peas over Prodigy anyone?)

And don't forget, it was the Black Eyed Peas last night who said "hello London". Uh... you're in Somerset mate.

Enjoy getting out bez, weather forecast had heavy rain in your area so that should make leaving... interesting.

Phew! What a weekend!

You're right Beefy, getting out was 'interesting'. Had to practically bump the car out. As a taster, here's some of the mud:





Sorry for the ****e quality, I took my old mobile in case anything happened. Battery died too, I think my normal one would have lasted the whole weekend.

Still, despite the trouble getting out (all part of the fun I suppose) we caught some great acts. Really ****ed off that I missed Gaslight Anthem as I screwed their stage time up, and missed Springsteen appearing with them! Can't win them all I suppose.

Still knackered, I think it was dancing to Madness that did it.

Congratulations on an enjoyable lark down on the farm Bez. My attempts at attending were thwarted by other people selfishly snapping up the tickets.

And that only makes it more annoying when you witness imbeciles watching bands you would love to see who clearly haven't got a clue who they're watching.

Ever been to a gig where most of the crowd only know one song? They spend the whole night there milling around whilst someone plays their guts out on stage, then bounce around singing for the one song they know.... then go home.

Completely utterly pointless.

Interesting fortnight!

My mate had a spare ticket for a certain gig last night, so guess where I ended up.....



Didn't even realise that I was going to attend until about 3pm yesterday!
