    Saturday intermittently raining Sunday overcast, still no one will notice the rain when the bands start up.

    Most of the beer they sell at these festivals is like piss anyway, perhaps they should just cut out the middle man and throw it straight into the crowd, :)

    I was listening to it for a while as I was at a mate's house who lives in Castle Donnington. Free music and beer :). There were some very muddy people walking around the site. At least I assume it was mud...going on the 'beer' comments earlier I can only hope ;)

    Nice mate, need to get to Glastonbury one year. I can get to the little evening gig they do for the locals. I'm not that local but know man who are

    Never been to a music event. Would love to see prodigy and chilli peppers live one day, the Rolling Stones and never forget AC/DC
