Just watched a recording of The Lumineers and they were brilliant.

Now watching ZZ Top.......they don't make many like that any more! Love how so many of the audience have artificial big, red beards Laughing

I see that Muse are on later tonight.

    The great thing about Glastonbury is that it always turns up groups I haven't been aware of before. Just watching The Editors now on Red Button. Very impressed with them! Happy

    Our son is there just now, he's been camping with our seven year old grandson (who's been at school in the day time.) They're lucky as they've got various passes. Son has been watching Corinne Bailey Rae tonight, I've been looking at what they've seen on
    Twitter. Looks good but I think grandson has really been most impressed by the giant "spider" that belches out a roar of fiery gas! Happy

    I'll be watching Adele and Coldplay. The weather doesn't look very good for tomorrow. Wellies at the ready...... Glad I'll be sat in the comfort of my sofa in the dry. Smile

    Looking forward to Madness & Adele tonight and ELO & Coldplay tomorrow. But also keeping my eyes open for new bands when the red button kicks in! Happy

    Brilliant dinner - watching Squeeze live on the laptop on the kitchen table.

    Reliving memories of the best gig ever last October.

    Just watching Sqeeze now on BBC4.

    Loved them for as long as I can remember. Not the greatest performance, but I'm prepared to forgive the odd weak spot.

    Have to say that their new bass player (Lucy Shaw?) is very easy on the eye Wink

    Not sure what to make of the Last Shadow Puppets......I think maybe Alex Turner should stick with the Arctic Monkeys?

    Just watching Adele - her singing is great, but her language is atrocious.  Why do stars think they should repeat the F word and worse in every sentence?.  What a shame!

    Sounds as though she went down well with the crowd. I enjoyed the set. Looking forward to seeing Coldplay today and catch up on a few others.

    There's certainly no need for it .. Maybe she's got Tourettes syndrome Undecided

    Well, what can I say!!!!!!!!

    ELO in their first visit to Glastonbury and they were superb!!!

    The songs just kept on coming, one after the other. Who knew there were so many!?

    And every single one was done to perfection. Jeff Lynne is known to be a perfectionist and boy, does it show!

    One of the best things I've seen for a long, long time.

    Adele's language as people as said was awlfull

    She continued to F and blind when she had a 10 year old star struck fan on the stage wiv her !

    No bad language from E L O , thought they were excellent ....

    Yes Adel has a Potty mouth.  Such a shame, she has a good voice, surprised with having a small son she  was still swearing like a navvy with a child on stage

    I'm not easily offended,but I did think she was out or order. Contrast that with Coldplay, Barry Gibb, and Michael Eavis tonight.

    Sorry Adele, love the music, hate the swearing!  Grow up girl!
