Glastonbury '99! Well what can you say? For me it was so nice to see the sunshine as i've been the last two years and was begining to think that the rain was following me! My heart felt congratulations go to Michael (and everyone else involved) for the BEST festival I have ever been to. I'm inclined to think that the sun was a gift from god as a Tribute to the late Jean Eavis, thus giving the festival the best vibe in memory of such a great woman, May you rest in peace.

As for Bands, Faithless did it for me. (but why oh why is there such a lack of video footage, photos,and reviews? Surely such a great band deserves more?) Gomez where also brilliant, as where the Corrs, Lenny Kravitz, FLC's, DJ Carl Cox, the list goes on and on!

The general Hippy vibe was ever present in the Green Fields, with the usual helping of stange naked blokes (does any one know what they where protesting naked about?), Bongo players, and Flower children.

My only negative thought is that it all goes too quickly, one minute it's 11am on Wednesday and I'm bladdered, the next thing I know it's Monday morning (and i'm still Bladdered) and everyones going Home.

GLASTONBURY 1999 is one memory that will stay with me close to my heart forever.
God Bless all those who made it possible!
See You Next Year!
