Well actually not just Damian but also his brothers and even a flag waving young son. Four Marleys special offer and some classic Bob tunes thrown in too, lovely.

Once we’d discovered you could sit in the bar in Jazzworld and still be able to see and hear acts on the stage, we were almost as happy as one of the bar staff, who was going delirious because Damian was about to start. He went even more bonkers through out his set and really hats off to the guy for setting up a wonderful mood in the tent.

‘Junior Gong’ doesn’t disappoint, it’s a fantastic performance full of energy right from the off with 'Confrontation’ and even the crowd in the bar are putting their "hands in the air Glastonbury!" Wow, what an opener, we continue to sway throughout the set and ‘In Too Deep’ has us all singing along. The Jazzworld has become the home of reggae tonight as flags wave and the beat infuses us all.

The songs are re-worked and Damian freestyle raps over some sections before bringing out brother Stephen for 'All Night', 'Pimpers Paradise' and dad's very own classic ‘Could You Be Loved?’with Julian Marley also appearing.

All too soon ‘Welcome to Jamrock’ has us skanking as they start to close the beer tent down, and we’re left hollerin’ for more. Guess we have to wait for the next performance tomorrow and the big Exodus show on Sunday.
