Glastonbury 2007 (at last)

So, I know that Glasto was a couple (or more) weeks ago, but I've only just got around to uploading my photos. They are mostly of bands, pretty boring. But hopefully this selection of some of my best will suffice.

I don't have time to do a full review of everyone I saw, but I would say that the whole weekend was amazing, despite the mud and rain (well it wouldn't be Glastonbury without it!!) Take a look at my photos, a rundown of my weekend and (hopefully soon) some videos.

Some personal highlights were sheltering from the rain on thursday in a brightly painted tipi, watching Tony Benn and co give some rousing talks on sunday in the leftfield, followed later by a brilliant set by Billy Bragg in Avalon. I thought all three Pyramid headliners were good, but not spectacular. Best other acts of the weekend were Los Campesinos!, Tokyo Police Club and the Editors, although I didn't see one bad band! The weakest was as usual the Cribs, I don't quite no why I keep bothering. Great weekend all round!!
