GLASTONBURRRRRRRY

So we got asked to play the BBC Introducing Stage at this years Glastonbury festival, so we thought we’d better to it. Cue tears of overwhelming joy and anxiety.

We got the coach down to the festival site which was STRESS. FUL. So when we got to Glastonbury we indulged in some retail therapy. Rosie bought a tshirt with owls on. Hooters for her hooters:::

Smit isn’t one for shopping so he scarpered.

While he was gone we found this and it was one of the most thrilling moments of our lives…as this photo aptly demonstrates:::

You can’t see clearly as we only took disposable cameras, but that is our band name on that massive poster covered in shit. Honest.

A little later on we felt a huge sigh of relief as we found Smit wandering around in the Green Fields:::


It was lucky we found him when we did as soon it was time to play. We got ourselves geared up backstage. Nerves were rife:::


The tension was not helped by the fact we were hanging out with some right weirdos backstage:::


Rosie had to take some homeopathic remedies and felt much MUCH better:::

She also took a minute to check all her equipment was working. She was confident it was:::

And yet when it came to crunch time, the equipment got the willies more than we did:::

Turns out the stage hands at Glastonbury are the nicest ever and all the issues were soon ironed out and it was time to play.

IT WAS IMMENSE:::

So good in fact we indulged in some totally hot (totally legal) graffiti:::

To celebrate playing the best freakin’ festival EVERRR we got crunk drunk:::

Then went for a relaxing two hour walk up to the Stone Circle, but it was totally worth it:::

The last day of the festival was HOT. Some would say too hot:::

But Smit seemed to have no qualms with getting down with his bad self in the heat:::

Rosie was so thrilled she donned some pastels:::

We also got invited to do an interview on the legendary Worthy FM. We were all so excited, but their excitement waned when they realised that we were turning up and not Diva Fever.

One can see how they would get confused:::

Totally get why they were disappointed… It’s ok though, we were casual, breezy and professional and managed to saved face:::

While we were at Glastonbury we bore witness to some truly amazing things, and for these we will be forever grateful:::

(let it be known I did not take the above photo, although I did encourage it)

(the same applies to this one, except I both encourage it and took it)

SO that was our weekend in a nutshell!

The fields need a rest an so do we.
