My favourite band name from this year's Glastonbury has to be SNARKY PUPPY.
(Although I'll give an honourable mention to JUST MUSTARD)
I was really looking forward to seeing Suzanne Vega headline the Acoustic Stage tonight, until I realised that there isn't anywhere I can watch it live. I'll have to hope that the BBC deign to put it on their iPlayer highlights in the coming few days.
Still not sure how I feel about Paul McCartney's set last night.
My 'best of the day' award for Saturday, therefore, goes to PHOEBE BRIDGERS. Amazing set, and she has the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen in my life (that 'silver sparkles' number she played at the start). Technically speaking, she played the John Peel Stage on Friday, but I only watched it yesterday, so chronologically, for me, she wins for Saturday.
Returning to Mr McCartney, then - probably a great gig to be at live, but came across a bit clunky on the telly, and it made me feel a bit like I was watching the greatest ever racehorse take a leisurely walk along a beach in its dotage. Everything I wanted was there, but about 20 years too late to make it worthwhile. Pretty incredible moment when you bring on Bruce Springsteen to be a guest guitarist though!
