An enjoyable (drunken) couple of hours in front of the gogglebox

Post by FranTastic444 »

The wife and I were out celebrating last night, and upon our return from the restaurant we decided to crack a bottle of bubbly. Once we were up to date on all of the YouTube channels we follow, I happened upon some BBC Glasto '24 coverage. What a great couple of hours that turned out to be - music played loud (we are far enough from the neighbours that we wouldn't have caused a nuisance) as we reminisced about our younger days when we would go to events like this.

When we lived in the UK, we would watch many hours of the Glasto coverage on tv- I just presumed that we wouldn't get access in the US. Turns out that the Beeb runs a cut-down set list. Keeping things skirting related, the trumpet / tabmourine player in James wore a long skirt and a couple of the male backing singers for Dua Lipa wore skirts (as previously discussed on here).

I did a bit of Googling on Andy Diagram (from James) and he states on his personal web page -
It was good to see Norman "Fatboy Slim" Cook playing bass in support of Paul Heaton when they performed one of their old Housemartins hits.

Living in the UK, Mrs Mouse and I enjoyed the coverage the BBC on iPlayer gives you where you can follow live, on each stage what is happening. As you say, the Paul Heaton set with Rianne Downey was one of the standout sets of the Festival. I also enjoyed Due Lipa and Coldplay as well.
Daily, a happy man in a skirt...
