GLASTONBURY!! Sunday:

Turned out to be our favourite day of the festival as the weather was ok (only a couple of rainy patches) and we only had to go between two main stages to see the bands on our list. We started off with Amadou et Miriam, an African husband and wife fronting a funky band, they had a bit of a Michael Jackson tribute with a small bassline snippet in one of their songs. Next up was Tom Jones, who sounded pretty good considering his vintage. He was cranking out some greatest hits which the crowd were getting into. We heard about half a dozen songs before we headed off to see the Yeah Yeah Yeah's play. We were both pretty keen for this, Kirsten was already sporting a new YYY's T-shirt and they didn’t disappoint, playing some great stuff off their three albums. Karen O was sporting an eye catching outfit and was rocking out on the stage, really good. Next up was Bat for Lashes, who we had not heard a lot of but had heard some good things about. She played an interesting set and the reduced crowd really got into her music - Sadly no Springsteen cover (at least while we were there). Apparently she does a good cover version of 'Dancer in the Dark'. We managed to hear the last few songs from Madness which was quite good. We’ll be able to see more of them at Roskilde and then have a dance for our mate Wal. Second to last on the Pyramid Stage was Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds who cranked out a blistering set including 'Tupelo', 'The Mercy Seat', 'The Ship Song' as well as new songs 'Calling on the Author' and 'Dig Lazarus Dig'. He dedicated the set to the “late, great..... Farrah Fawcett” which received a good response from the crowd who had heard a lot about Michael Jackson’s passing by this stage. Headliners for Sunday were the reformed Blur who played a set spanning their whole career, right from ‘There’s no Other Way’ through to a huge crowd sing along for ‘Tender’. Really good light show and sound made sure that the capacity crowd at the Pyramid Stage had a great time as did we.
