Morning World

Saturday Today!

The plan:

Guillemots at 1530 over at the Pyramid stage (cool), then after that I’m probably gonna have to desert my friends and run off to the Other Stage to see CSS..
My dear friend Bongo introduced me to this fantastic sound.. I’ve GOT to see them live!

Once that’s all done I’m gonna run back over to the Pyramid to catch Lily Allen (however that DOES mean missing The Klaxons… What to do, what to do, what to do?)!
Then at 6pm we’re discussing the merits of Babyshambles over Paolo Nutini.. To Be Decided.
After that?
Stay at the Pyramid for Paul Weller and The Kooks and then round all of that off with a few tracks from The Killers! Woo!

Ok.. First I need some breakfast.. … … … …

Oh – and before I go.. Just gotta say two words:

ARCADE FI-IRE!

ARRRRRRCAAAAADE FI-IRE!

Wow wow wow wow wow… WOW!

Ahhh dudes! They were SO good! I mean like SO good! …and Yes, being a good little Blogger, I took some video for you… ENJOY!

What can I say?

First day (officially) of the festival and Wow WOW WOW!

There’s a lack of photos currently due to cursed battery power! Again!
But today.. I have seen:

Gogol Bordello

One CRAZY Russian punk band! The most amazing way to start Glasto.
Seek them out.. “start wearing purple, wearing purple!” ..after that came:

The amazing Amy Winehouse..

Wow. What a show. ‘Valerie’ went down a treat!

…before I carry on.. I need to share something with you –
Yes. A few thousand people will applaud Amy Winehouse – but there is NOTHING quite like hearing One Hundred and Seventy Thousand People cheer like they’ve never cheered before.. Why? THE SUN CAME OUT! Wee!
Ok..back to the story – after Amy came The Magic Numbers – i love this band.
Such HAPPY music..
However – the best part of THAT set was when they rounded off with a Guns’n’Roses Cover! Fan-bloody-tastic…

Had a little sleep after all that lot.. And now… I’m waiting for The Arcade Fire to come on…

The weather’s good though!

Jon Bon Jovi… eh?!

Ok..

So let’s get one thing clear – I am not a Bon Jovi fan…

BUT.

If someone offers you one of these…

..for nothing..

Its VERY difficult to say no.

Not only that but the tickets were Gold VIP Inner Circle too..

So yeah..

My mate Steve mentioned that he might go the other night.. he said he had these tickets and he wasnt fussed either way – but his mate Mike was going with his bird and he was gonna jump in their car with them.. I said I’d go too if there was a spare ticket.. Turns out there was a spare ticket but Mike had already agreed to take more people in his car.. so me and Steve said dont worry about it..

Fast forward to 3pm this afternoon and I’m walking back into Twickenham and I get a phone call from Steve..

“Oi Whatley – you fancy Bon Jovi?”

“I thought Mike had gone already.. ?”

“He has. He left at 11am this morning.. nutcase.. but yeah – figured these tickets are worth at least a ton so we should use ’em really.. we got backstage passes too.. So I’m thinkin’, fuck it, lets just jump in the car and go eh?”

“Mate – I’M ALL OVER IT!”

So off we went.. made good time too.. God knows why Mike left so early. We got there and we caught the first couple of Nickelback songs (they were supporting) then we hung out in the VIP tent for a bit and then went and joined the party in the ‘inner circle’ …

It was AWESOME!

So yeah – random as hell but a great way to spend a Sunday evening!

I’m shattered now mind.. been a long day.

So I’m gonna go to bed.. and sleep.
