GLASTONBURY COMMEMORATIVE ALE

I HAD MEANT TO CATCH 'KANYE'S' SET. BUT IN WHAT CAN ONLY BE DESCRIBED AS 'DIVINE INTERVENTION'.........I WAS AT THE PUB AND A FRIEND ASKED ME AND MY BROTHER IF WE WANTED TO COME BACK AND TRY SOME MEXICAN CHICKEN. 

FACED WITH THE CHOICE OF FOOD OR KANYE, FOOD WON OUT!

I'VE ENJOYED SETS FROM WOLF ALICE, COURTNEY  BARNETT, PALOMA FAITH AND I'VE STILL TO WATCH THE VACCINES AND SUEDE WHICH I'VE HEARD GOOD THINGS ABOUT. HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED GLASTONBURY TOO!
