Sums up my feelings entirely. Saw Chroma debut, it was good, but Moderat massively overshadowed them that night. Wouldn't pay to see it again, however as you say that lineup is juicy. Sadly have other party plans though - December is a bad time. -

Yep, Roy Gurvitz, AKA Weird Beard AKA Roy The Boy. Pretty sure that his first cocktail bar in SE corner was '97 when he was in the field which is now Unfair Ground. Previous to that it was (crusty) crew camping. We were parked up there in '94. That set up is what evolved into Lost Vagueness, Roy being the head honcho. Roy had been doing 'unauthorised' bars at Glastonbury for quite some time. I remember that he did The World Cup Bar in '92 which actually had a couple of TVs to watch the games. Unheard of back in those days.He has a history of running bars that predates that as well. He used to run bars at free festivals (when we could still have them, before the Public Order Act) where he usually used to sell Richard's Castle Wine, outrageously strong fruit wine made in Herefordshire. Roy is still on the scene with a very sucessful and rather good big top/marquee etc hire company called Meerkat Marquees. In the unlikely event that anyone hasn't seen it, there's a brilliant film called Lost In Vagueness which shows the rise and fall of LV. Absolutely brilliant viewing and shows how tame the SE corner is these days compared to 20 to 25 years ago. Watch and enjoy!
