Glastonbury is reknowned for its eclectic mix of performers, musicans and seriously any type of entertainment that you can think of. Most people don’t see the different facets of the festival, usually preferring to stick to well known bands ect like Kings of Leon & Blur. I must admit that I had been guilty of doing the same – the farm is so huge it takes ages walking from one stage/field to the next, it is just more relaxing to just plop yourself down on the grass and just spend the whole day being entertained. This year was different – I decided I was going to get the REAL glastonbury experience.
I started off the morning with some funny acts…like this comedy magic/fireeating/knife throwing act. They really made me laugh and set the tone for the day.
After wandering around watching other random acts, I wanted to do some crafting at Bella’s field. It’s a self-potrait project, we were each given a ball of clay to mould into a ‘self portrait’, which they will then fire it and then display it in some sort of exhibition. You can also bring it back and fire it yourself to harden the clay up.
It’s just typical of me to make a cupcake…
Whilst bacon started off with a cat, which turned into a rabbit, then guniea pig and then a momma & baby lamb. Hmm.
Don’t you just love the cat with grass for whiskers!!
After we finished our works of art, I wandered over to the Circus field, hoping to catch some other funny acts. Instead, I keep bumping to a variety of random groups of people, being totally random, weird but hilariously funny:
This bunch of women were just walking around talking about their toilet routine
Disinfecting the mud
Walking coconut tree on stilts
Very strange. This bunch of people were cornering groups of people and giving them a personal singing performance. Strange.
Mobile tea lady. She’s not actually serving any tea at all…just smoking all the way.
Full-fledged brass band
Not exactly…can you see the tiny whistles in their mouths? They were whistling to popular songs like Britney and Beyonce tunes. Tres cool, very in tune as well…
The headless woman
Japanese pom pom men
Whilst bacon headed towards the comedy tent for some comedians, I headed for a spot of ‘culture’ at the local museum
Hehe…for those that have brought their ladybug along for a walk..hehe.
I joined the kids for another spot of crafting – mixed media self portrait
All in all, it was such an excellent way to spend the afternoon. After the initial downpour in the morning, I was pleasantly surprised by the weather which calmed down at around 12. I love the cabaret field and bella’s field the best…such random characters live there!! I love randomness, and no where else on earth can you find such a wide variety of randomness.
Coming up – yes, yes, MUSIC at last !! If you can’t wait, please click here, I was a featured twitterer on the Guardian Newspaper – I saw more acts that weekend than the whole music reporters put together!!!
