I went in 95 but missed Pulp for some reason....so would be nice to finally get to see them at Glastonbury, unless I manage to miss them for some reason.
For up and coming acts, Glastonbury is a massive promo for themselves. But for established acts, they might not need it, and it's as much for Glasto as it is for an act (Neil in this case). He doesn't need the exposure and has his principles. I dont see why he shouldn't have a say in how much is broadcast, if any at all. He would have no control over what's seen by the viewers. I don't think the coverage did Cyndi Lauper any favours last year due to the quality of the broadcast.
It's a massive shame that the TV rights are so strict. Anyone should be able to say no.
Anyone who saw him last time will know it's a possible loss for the festival and not Neil. He was so brilliant. Even then, I'm not sure how popular he was (as in how big the crowd was), and I'm sure it'd be less this time (depending on who's on any other stages).
