Friday 23rd to Sunday 25th June 2000Worthy Farm, Pilton, nr Glastonbury, Somerset, England
£89 including booking fee and postage
Musical highlights for us were Sugarman 3 on the Jazz stage who had a great bluesy, funky, cookin' sound - no-one could stand still. And Jools Holland who had a great set - all the better for featuring Sam Brown who we really should see more of!
Other
acts we saw: Travis (disappointing), The Italian chef/juggler/acrobat
in the Circus tent (great skill and brilliant entertainment), The
Egg (getting better and better), Gong (so good to see them again),
Helen Austin
(excellent and should have done more), Rolf Harris (couldn't get
anywhere near him - he should have been on Pyramid stage after Jools
on Sunday afternoon!), Moloko (great), Andy Sheppard (OK but not
enough variety), John Martyn (still magic), Bowie (vocals drowned
out a bit), CCQ (fantastic and did you notice their drummer playing
with Sweet Lorraine?).
General comments - the music was not as good as the last few years, with Robbie Williams, The Corrs, Skunk, Tony Bennett, Blur, Courtney Pine, The Cardigans etc etc etc in previous years - this year was a bit thin on good stuff. Also, we were aware of and experienced more theft than ever before even though we were trying to be careful.
Overall a good time but last year was better.
