Thought I would start this one as we have the line up guesses already out there. Mine would be heartbreaking for me with My all time favourite band Earth, Wind and Fire being on West Holts on the Friday against Elbow another of my favourites. What would be yours ?

Well said

Had 5 pints of brothers then a bimble around through silver hayes to a tent on the right at the bottom which had hookah pipes in. Lovely atmosphere and good toasties. Then went to a bar which fantastic music playing on the right of the John Peel tent. Best night for me was lovely

Was just looking at the FMS website, if I register do I have to commit to doing other fests/events! It's all a bit vague on the website![/quote
No you don't but you stand more of a chance of doing Glasto if you do others events for them as demand is high to work for them. They cover the Royal Bath and West show, Buddafields festival and Reading festival. They are great to work for as we'll

I work as a medics for FMS. We do 2 8 hr shifts over the weekend. Fantastic place to work . Done 4 glastonburys now. Can't wait for number 5
-
yep , when I saw the chemical brothers in 2011? noone would come with me!!!
-
As another medic who worked for FMS thank you very much and thank you all the public that made my shifts so good. Every one i met and treated were so grateful. See you all next year

Slightly off topic but we were also told by someone working for security that 20 security staff had been ejected for stealing from tents , and to be suspicious of these people too , this in our camping area !! arrgh !! Anyone else hear similar ?

Basically,
I know I bored everyone with my obsessions with Chic and stuff and I know Glastonbury is a mile off BUT I thought I'd make this thread just so that we could discuss who should get the infamous Friday night West Holts stage slot.
Whoever it is, I will be there and will probably be more than merry but I thought it'd be fun to throw about a few names and clips of live performances etc.
Personally I'd like anything out of: Manu Chao, David Byrne, Earth Wind & Fire or Gogol Bordello.
I reckon none of those will probably happen but I can dream!
Have fun
disclaimer: I've had a few ciders so apologies for this thread, delete it if you think it's a waste of time, Niel.

I've done a rip of the full set into MP3 if anyone's interested.
Don't know if Megaupload or somewhere is still the place to upload them to share or not? (Or if anyone's interested).
-
Thank you very much. Hope you are doing them again next year to raise more money for a great charity. Thanks for all your hard work.
-
it was nearish to the cider bus, but the thing is that some bins will just get picked up and moved to somewhere else on site, so one day it's there and the next it's on the other side of the site
-
As I mentioned, someone stole my external battery charger (amongst other things) on the first day which meant my camera died and I didn't get photos of all of them. My phone broke as well, which means the photos I took on my phone are gone as well
Hakuna Matata though right?
Thank you so much for your understanding, your support and for making this my favourite ever year at the greatest place in the world
My tower bridge bin looks fantastic thanks. Can you tell me where it was please as we looked all over for it. Thank you again

Burst into tears when I saw they were rumoured. When I saw them in 2011 I was in a very bad low place and when The loneliness of the Tower Crane Driver was played i had a spiritual awaking. Left my ex of 19 years 3 weeks later after years of upset and being controlled. My new wife watched the set on the BBC and felt the same as me. We saw them on December at the O2 and were in tears for most of the set!! We had One day like this as our music for the wedding. She was disappointed that they were not playing this year but she is delighted they are next year. Will be an amazing set.

Earth Wind and Fire
-
Thank you so much you have made my day. Saw them again at the o2 last year and in 2011 at Glasto and they were fantastic and certainly knew how to work the crowd.

Up near the front with my wife, some old friends and, best of all, my son and his Uni mates who he had persuaded to join us. What a party! We danced like it was 1979 again (except everything ached on Saturday!).
Next year I want the full 15 piece Earth Wind and Fire to be wheeled out. That would complete my soul/disco revival dream...

When the Mrs asks you for a brandy at 1000 in the morning!!!
-
Me too - at my desk at work today! I'm pleased you both had such a great festival, sounds like it was well deserved x
-
yup, after reading the story you posted about your encounter with a stranger regarding recent events in your lives. quite the most beautiful thing. thanks a lot.
-
Thanks cant wait for next year and she cried on Sunday not wanting to leave!!! she got glasto as soon as we got there on Monday
-
As it says in the title. Was watching the footage of Chic on the planner today when i started to blubber again. The Mrs asked what was wrong. It was because of just spending the best 7 days of my life at Glastonbury with the one i love for her first Glasto and seeing 2 of my all time favourite bands Chic and The Stones in the same weekend. Anybody else had a sob !!
-
I may be wrong, but I understand that the medics on site are volunteers. So finding that many qualified volunteers would (I expect) be very hard. I'm sure if they could they'd have as many medical volunteers on site as possible.
