We camped in Glastonbury a few years ago, as a stop-off on the way to Cornwall.
It was the first time I'd been, & on wandering the town-centre, & up the Tor, I was taken aback by the amount of people sitting on street-corners/wrapped in blankets on the Tor/playing guitars/etc....
It wasn't until we were in St Ives that I realised we'd been there 2 days before the Festival opened
(it was quite a few years ago, as it was the year that 'Four Non-Blondes' were in the charts with 'What's Going On' - I heard that track for the first time driving on the bridge over the River Tamar!!!
Funny what little things stick in your mind!!)
Also;
The coverage isn't the same anymore without John Peel being there, but I reckon Mark Radcliffe will do a decent job (he used to present for the BBC, alongside Peel)
