‘Jagger’s Yurt’ by Kate Fox
Quote stonesrule What's the source for the John Lennon quote? The Glastonbury experience will be most interesting. I will start the travel early week, Wednesday, be on a coach in UK by Thursday 4am, then spend four - 4 - days on a field so that I can get 2 hours or so of the Stones. Isle of Wight was easy. Glastonbury will be harder. But when I am back home Sunday evening and dried up, it will be all worth it, and the week after I will tell my grandchildren about it.
They are starting to understand a bit more about the power of the Stones by now. May be I will even buy the T-shirt, if it is nice! You only get wet once. I will pretend I am a duck for four days. Reminds me of this joke: A guy was sitting in a bar when a stranger walked up to him and asked, "If you woke up in the woods and scratched your butt and felt vasoline, would you tell anyone?
Ronnie Wood has tweeted a selfie with his shiny new red Glastonbury wellies. It's his first time at the festival. Could even be his first time on a farm. Our video journalist Chris Stone has sent one of his dizzying degree views of Glastonbury sprawlers this morning below , and he's also sent this:. Front page of tomorrow's Glastonbury Free Press , displayed in Press Tent signalling what to expect from the Stones' set tonight. Even if you missed the documentary, you'll want to see him play live.

Meanwhile, some Scottish alt rock Glastonbury veterans are up on Pyramid. No guesses where Neil McCormick is Neil McCormick - "Hullo, Glastonbury. Are you ready for some rock and roll? Elvis Costello was on good form and even did his crowd-pleaser, Oliver's Army. The cool hat was there as usual but Costello looked pretty hot and sweaty in a thick suit, waistcoat and tie.
He loves his natty on-stage attire and the only time he's looked reasonably dishevelled performing was when he played the busker Ben in an episode of Frasier.

Excuse this brief rant about the virtues of the BBC's website, but it doesn't happen often so enjoy it while it lasts. Don't get me started on the BBC's most viewed Glastonbury clips page. Worth noting the "most shared" tab too, for some unexpeted names.
Fox Populi
Self-described Austrian blues "sorcerers" Turrentine Jones for example. On that note, and with a huge sigh that I don't know the Stones rumour, I pass over to Florence Waters who will take you through this evening's performances including Elvis Costello and The Rolling Stones. Have a wonderful time, tonight could just be one of those nights. Rolling Stones fever is gathering momentum.
Now you've seen the picture, here's the review of Noah and the Whale from James Lachno. Cover of Daft Punk eh? A possible hint about a surprise Glastonbury set from the exraterrestrial French DJs? Dapper-suited and with matching Ray-Bans to negate the scorching sun's afternoon glare or just to look cool, perhaps , South London's Noah and the Whale served up some gentle, 80s-leaning pop-rock. Hundreds lining the front row did little heart shapes with their hands during Give a Little Love. The band also found time for a sprightly, crowd pleasing cover of Daft Punk's Digital Love.
Charlie Fink from Noah and the Whale, who have been performing on the Other stage. He looks boiling in that blazer, get that man his three beers! In a sort of 'find out after the break' type feature, I was going to not tell you who Neil McCormick is talking about Still worth a watch though as Neil obviously thinks very highly of this lot. I wonder how the chorus goes? Answers on the back of a postcard please. On what was turning out to be the perfect day, I am afraid I do come bearing some bad news. This is straight from the official Glastonbury website, who have been asked to pass on this message from Public Enemy:.
Raise a glass to Laura Robson, who has just booked her place in the fourth round of Wimbledon. Right, ahem, enough tennis. Oh here we go and absolutely worth the wait. Don't do a Chris O'Dowd and leave these anywhere Azealia.
Are you ready for some mutha' fun? Her outlandish neon yellow and mint green outfit complete with techno fetish spikes seemed appropriate for her propulsive mash-up of rap, dance and hip hop. She's infamous for her potty-mouthed rhymes, but while their was plenty to appreciate in her rapidfire flow, she also showed she can sing pretty well. Elsewhere she did a bit of the Harlem shake, and sampled Underworld's Born Slippy. A heddy mix of beats and bravado to get the afternoon pumping.

Azealia Banks wins the award for most absurdly outrageous outfit of the festival so far, described by James as "a quite remarkable neon outfit with steggasaurus spikes". A picture is on its way. After my rather embarrassingly gushing rave about Laura Mvula earlier, I'm delighted to say that The Telegraph's chief music critic, Neil McCormick agrees and has sent through a video to prove it.
Quite what I'd be saying now if he hadn't enjoyed it, I don't know Probably wouldn't have published it. Our man Chris has just bumped into James and Charlotte plus understandably raucous wedding party. Apparently they're getting married in August so had a blessing in the hippy fields this morning. I guess the Rolling Stones aren't a bad act for your first dance It might look sunny now but tonight, when the bands finish and the sun goes down, things could get out of hand and you'll be grateful for this video, which explains exactly where to go and what to see.
Right, here we go! The music is well and truly underway and here's a report of Dry the River from the Other Stage, courtesy of James. A lone flag in the picture as well, have they become less popular this year? I can't help but hope so. Email me your thoughts on pesky or otherwise flags rupert. Elbow had been blasting out of the PA system on the Other Stage before Dry the River's early afternoon set - and this was an appropriate reference point for the British quintet's swooning, epic rock, which also had flashes of the fiery prog of hirstute Scots Biffy Clyro. Plenty of water was taken on during the performance - could be a thirsty day for today's bands.

The wonderful Laura Mvula is on the Pyramid Stage, charming Glastonbury with her huge voice and even bigger smile. Been talked up a lot this year but she's showing every sign of justifying the hype. James stumbled upon this on the Hell side of Shangri-La. Maybe Sir Bruce Forsyth is planning something a little different for his appearance on the nearby Avalon Stage tomorrow.
Glastonbury Review 2013
An interesting video here that gives an indication of how festivals have had to move with the times with the huge demand for mobile charging points. EE co sponsors of the festival who have also installed the temporary festival-wide 4G network have provided a couple of Recharge Tents within the main site.
People are willing to queue for hours for that precious morsel of battery life which will help them find their friend in the crowd It seems that another Chris, this time Bridesmaids comedian Chris O'Dowd, was enjoying the delights of Glasto after dark as well. Thanks for giving my clothes to lost property. Chris , who assures us he's been working hard all weekend, has sent through some stunning images from the Arcadia last night.
