I think Glastonbury… might have some surprises yet to be announced … smaller scale stuff …. Maybe some performing arts stuff rather than music ? 

Kids entertainers, face painters etc would be an obvious choice. I missed the Basil Brush set at the last festival so would love to see him.

They've said there will be more stuff:

"A programme of additional activities for all the family will be announced on a weekly basis. Please visit the campsite hubs on arrival for more information."

I'm hoping they'll include performing arts but assuming they won't, just so I don't get my hopes up too much

If you've got BBC Sounds app, whack Radio 2 on and rewind it to 11:29. Otherwise the whole thing will be on available after the show has finished at 13:00.

Nothing of note really. They are recording the bands for Live From Worthy Farm during the week, as for Worthy Pastures, still places available but not loads. One of the kids activities will be painting bins.

Good stuff ... she also mentions coming back to a tent she has onsite to find some random people occupying it 🙂

@Tittersdid similar but the situation was much worse.

I'd be very interested in the same for "The Glastonbury Bell", which seems to be absent from the web site.

It's 4 metres diameter and up to 2m high in the middle. I measured out in garden, it's a decent size.

Ok weird question here. So although a primary school teacher now I used to do music classes for groups of young children. I therefore have a load of children's songs I can sing on the go. This being the likely only chance I'll get to play Glasto (or close to it) anyone know who I might be able to contact to do a little acoustic thing in the kids field? I tried the main email and they said they'd forward it but ideally I'd make a connection myself. Cheers

If @Gnomicide could render up a photoshop of Chris Martin doing a Punch n' Judy show, that would be great...

[Yeo-vile idiot]

Hope fully this one will tide you over until then.

I remember an act on the Croissant Neuf Bandstand doing something similar to this a few years ago, Hattie Hatstar I think she was called, she was singing A Little Mouse With Clogs On.  F*ck knows why but it's always stuck in my head.

It doesn't really make that much more sense that the Chris Martin version tbh

Good news, first day of the year I could actually walk about wearing just t shirt and shorts! The first airing of a Glastonbury t shirt of course.  Been pretty cold up until now.  Town mobbed with Glaswegians desperate to escape their lockdown and enjoy the chips and ice cream.   So I headed for the hills and then a quiet beer garden away from the hordes.  Then down to the shore for a quick paddle!

Have you got a flipping Tardis or something?
