  • Pilton...I mean Glasto' Festival

Ed has been spotted already, school tie as well, natch!

whatever there were a few places I missed. I missed Tony De Vit cutting his teeth at Kingston’s in Taunton, and I missed Sasha at Lakota too. But I used to go to a wicked night at Timbuk2 in Bristol called Empathy run by Stu Wilkinson and Jim Rivers. Both top lads

      whatever reckon our paths may have even crossed at some point in Somerset history and probably knew some of the same people.

      Most probably

        Yeah, TDV played a lot in the west country in general. Saw him a number of times in different places. Think Sasha at Lakota was slightly before my time as well. The classic mixtape seems to be from around 93. Used to go to Fandango nights and saw so many amazing DJs. Was a bit worse for ware one night and got speaking to the resident DJ there, Mark Davis. Think I had asked him for a recording of one of the nights. Promptly forgot about it completely and then a tape turned up about 2 weeks later. Really top guy. Completely blown away by his kindness. Went out and about in Bristol quite a lot before moving onto the London venues.

            whatever nice! Reckon you must have been to the odd Marc Vedo/Matt Black night at Koolwaters at Deller’s wharf too 🤣

                Yeah went to his nights quite a bit including the club that he started his nights, around the corner from Deller’s (can’t remember what it was called). Wasn’t a fan of what he played but he had some good guest DJs. Feels like a lifetime ago 😆

                  Is it a klang if I say I’m close friends with one of The Wurzels?! I’m guessing not…..

                  Billie Eilish should own tonight’s headline slot don’t you think? @SM001

                    my mate just sent me an update. they put sasha on a stage next to the original glade last night and the sound was rubbish and not enough speakers. diggers is back in the normal place tonight so should be a lot better

                    Just seen the chemical brothers pulled out of the Arcadia set due to covid, that would have been a great set. I’m sure people will find something else to do instead!

                    Amps That’s always been a thing in recent years, they do a 5k race I’ve heard

                        Hursty Prob still buzzing or there running it in their Crocs.

                          SM001 Give me Billie Eilish over Billy Bragg any day of the week. She’ll storm it.

                            would absolutely love to be there, but tbf I would have spent today rolling around in the grass feeling shite having completely blown my load the night before

                              Sam Fender’s pretty decent. Putting Newcastle on the map 😀
