Not much that I saw

Remember seeing Hendrix there and Hawkwind played outside in protest as it wasn't a free festival anymore....

Erm, Muse, Kasabian, Snow Patrol to name a few....I'm not really going for the bands as I normally end up in the dance tent..

Yeah me too. 1970.

Last act on Monday morning as I went off to the station was Ritchie Havens. Got ferry across and train to London, went out to see Woodstock. First act on the film was Ritchie Havens. Good continuity there.

Excellent, I've been every year since it restarted in 2002 and usually its a good atmosphere with none of the shenanigans you get with other festivals, but last year because there was no Glastonbury it was way to busy and there was loads of the little thieving gits ruining it for the majority, hopefully it will be business as usual this year

I'll be looking to take my kids back to Glasto this year. We went in 2005 and had a ball, even though they're only young.

Whats more, they're free at Glasto, unlike the IoW, where they are over £60 each, even for my 5 year old!!

Nice one.. have always fancied that one and it'd be handy as I live in Bournemouth so not too far to trek.

But already hoping to go to Glasto and V this year so don't think i'd get away with another!

I can't make Glasto this year, so opted for IoW -went last year, was pretty cool form my very hazy recollections...
