Regina Spektor - fantastic start to the festival, I swear it was her that bought out the sunshine!

Gaslight Anthem - Really good songs, great front man. And The Boss.

Bloc Party - Can't actually remember much about the set but I know I had a very good time!

2ManyDJs - Wall to wall pleasure. Amazing graphics. Can't remember 90mins ever going that quickly before.

Honorable mentions to White Lies, Africa Express (Club DADA) and Madness.

1, Neil Young - cant believe a guy that agecan rock like that.

2, Madness - absolutely amazing, spec the sax player on the wiring !!!

3, Dizzee Rascal - crazy crowd

4, Pendulum - proper crazy stuff going on in that crowd while they kicked arse.

A special mention goes to the East Star All Stars for starting my day on the Sunday with a cider, a joint and the best Beatles covers I will ever hear in my life, amazing !!!

1. Bruce Springsteen/Neil Young

3. Bon Iver

4. Blur

Honourable mentions to Bat for Lashes, Blue Roses, Crosby, Stills and Nash and Maximo Park. I was initially going to miss both Bon Iver sets to see Bruce/Nick Cave but once the other stage times were bought forward I stayed for Bon Iver - literally too good to walk away from... The lineup was decent but I wish there weren't so many clashes. British Sea Power really should've had a slot on the other stage - seen them 5 or more times and couldn't miss NY,

Edit: Fleet Foxes were fantastic too.

1. Blur. It surprised me how much that gig actually meant to me. I've always thought of myself as a being a fan of Blur rather than Blur being important in my life. As soon as I burst out crying as they kicked into She's So High, I knew I was wrong. The little hug I received from the girl behind me was incredibly appreciated (I hope my garbled thanks to her later on expressed my feelings).

2. Kasabian. Incredibly enjoyable and celebratory in that it allowed a metaphoric two-fingered salute to the ignorant Springsteen freaks behind us. That's not a jibe at Springsteen fans in general, it's just that sitting on camping chairs right behind the mosh pit creating a danger isn't good form, but to show your ignorance by turning your backs to the act playing and chanting "Brooooooos" in a manner to insinuate booing is shameful and I'm certain isn't the kind of thing your hero would be supportive of.

3. Madness. Just before Madness went on stage I discovered that not only are some girls bigger than others, but you can fit three of the small bottles of rose into a paper pint cup. But you must drink it within an hour or the bottom slowly disintegrates forcing you to race it down you. This did not have an influence on the Blur tears however. But having a nice drink in sunshine dancing with total strangers by the Pyramid stage is my favourite thing on earth - and that's what I got to do a lot during that set.

4. Dizzee Rascal. I didn't know any more than three songs, but I loved every moment of his performance. The set just seemed to be over in a flash. He was the only artist I saw at Glastonbury who I thought after watching it that they're going to be a big part of my next Itunes purchasing.

Bon Iver - headlining the Park, but i also went to his Other Stage performance.

The Specials - the only gig where all of our friends got together for some crazy dancing/skanking

The Streets - always a brilliant set

Blur - what a comeback - and i can go see them again at T in the Park in less than two weeks!
