I'm writing about Glastonbury. Not the festival, but the town. Glastonbury is known as the Vale of Avalon. It used to be an Island town many years ago, with the surrounding land flooded. It wasn't until many ditches and rivers were dug did the land become farmable. I grew up in Glastonbury so I know it pretty well. I've seen ... Read the complete review

Glastonbury bores me, as simple as. Only Phil Jupitus in his silly hats on the TV coverage annoys me more about the event. It's supposed to be a festival where young people mingle from all social classes, yet it's the exact opposite, the proles in one small muddy field jigging around to dance music and Middle England in the other 70,000 ...

Not one tent! many tents, a camping extravigansa. 150,000 people turn up and soon fill the green fields with a sea of tents. The air is heavy with a mist from the thousands of campfires burning. The music is the main attraction with many big names and new ones, which you will recognise in a few months time and think oh my we watched them ... Read the complete review

Glastonbury is located in Somerset, but really it's a planet or a world of its own. It's a former island (the Isle of Avalon), which contributes to this, but what makes it unique is that, for several thousand years, it has been a home and pilgrimage place for the odd-bods of every time - and this still goes on today.
