The underground piano bar

We thought we found the entrance on the Wednesday night just behind the dragon but there was a bit metal fence blocking what we thought was the entrance and so assumed it was closed that night. Never got back to the Stone Circle so still don't know if I was right or not!

That was the old entrance.  It's moved slightly further up the hill now.

That sounds like it...it's further up the hill from the dragon (but I would say "behind"), but there's only one opening along the tree line. It usually has a metal fence wednesday and in 2017 also Thursday (and some Irish guy trying to convince you they weren't allowed to build it this year/they're taking it down/it's not open)

Last time I went it was a performance of shit poetry with people going 'shhh!' every 2 seconds in the audience. And a queue of the ubiquitous basic girls waiting to get in...

I was there then too! Was after light on Saturday morning I think.

Do you remember the King telling everyone to kneel before him. And the tale about the TEA man?

Or the albanian romany folk singer?

Found it (after some lucky direction giving by a building inspector I met over Thursday lunch) for the first time this year.

Ridiculously long queue on Friday night but we went anyway. Loved it, proper mad mayhem, funny comedian and good Irish banter. Proper Glasto moments in there...

My mates ended up in there early hours of Sunday. Typically my other half just stumbled across it randomly without knowing about it a bit like he did with the Rabbit Hole on his very first Glasto. I've been 9 times and still never ended up in here. There was a queue on the Sunday night so we didn't bother but tbh I think with somewhere like that it kind of has to be just accidentally found rather than planned

Not sure how you can accidentally find it - it's up by the fence. You'd have to be staggering around disoriented.

On second thoughts, that's probably exactly what you mean!

Went and had a nosey the other week and you are correct, it's in shite order at the moment. Deffo needs some TLC. Will try and post some pics later

Maybe it’s time for a change, been in twice and the last time the entertainment was sub standard. It worked best when it was truly a secret place to discover.

Think we’ll do the same in 3 weeks time

As any of you with a garden will testify, at this time of the year, Mother Nature is quick to reclaim what is rightfully her's.

Wow...it's really a wreck!

it will be incredible to see it all come back to life.  Lots of places at the moment that just feel bewildering.  Walking round Permaculture in the pissing rain on my own felt pots apocalyptic..

Any photos of the spike bar ? I’ve not seen any as yet ?

For me, a mind-blowing journey to enter a queue-less piano bar on sunday morning. It's definitely about the journey!

 

Has anyone been enticed there via interactions they've had out in the festival? E.g. for me: security incident with a 'punter' (irish) in the main festival area; paramedics and ambulance around the stone circle; various spots in the healing fields and the welfare tent
