The Glastonbury dream so close ....

A big Spangle "hello" to all my loyal fans out there.

The dream of playing Glastonbury came so close this year. It basically came down to a straight fight between me and The Wombles for the coveted 70's revival slot. I say a straight fight, but actually they had a numerical advantage and it's amazing how hard you can punch the little buggers without drawing blood. I was on top for a while, but they started to wear me down and (for once) I was quite pleased to see the police arrive!

The damage to the hospitality area was much exaggerated by the press, I'm told, so hopefully the organisers will have forgotten about it by 2013. There is no festival next year, so I can't really see the point of the 12 month exclusion order imposed by the rather square magistrate. I really think they should have seperate courts to deal with the likes of us ... surely different rules should apply to rockers?
