🎵Now Playing: Gwenno @ Glastonbury (2025)

Yes, I’m back from Glasto. I’ve just about recovered, my mind and body are about 75% but my soul is still flying free. I’m back at work and thought I would relive the first act I saw while I try to remember exactly what it is I do. This was on the beautiful tree stage in Woodsies on the Thursday. I was sat in the sun with my friends, and was a perfect way to ease into it.

🎵Now Playing: Foals @ Glastonbury (2022)

Glastonbury returned in 2022 after a two-year hiatus (for some reason?? I can’t remember why?) and Foals on the Other Stage was a great moment for the indie Millennials to dust off their dance moves. A great career-spanning set from one of the 00’s best bands.

See the setlist here.

🎵Now Playing: Tame Impala - Glastonbury (2019)

Another old setlist in the run up. This time from Australia’s Tame Impala who put on a brilliant performance on the Other Stage (we chose him instead of Stormzy’s Pyramid set). From what I can remember, a lot of smoke, a lot of lazers, a lot of dancing. Let it happen.

🎵Now Playing: Foo Fighters @ Glastonbury (2017)

2 weeks until Glastonbury! I haven’t packed! I need tent pegs! Argh!

As we head closer to my favourite place on earth, I’ll be listening back to some of my favourite sets from the festival, as well as catching up on the music of artists I’m planning to see. First up from my first ever Glasto in 2017 - it’s Mr Dave Grohl and his band.

🎵Now Playing: Wolf Alice - My Love is Cool (2015)

There’s a new album on the way, and they’re on my list to catch at Glastonbury so I’m going back through the old stuff. It’s good! I played a lot of this album when I was DJing in bars on a Friday afternoons. Sadly I am not in a bar and it is only Tuesday.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Bros
  • Your Loves Whore
  • You’re a Germ
  • Freazy

🎵Now Playing: Wild Beasts - Present Tense (2014)

I miss Wild Beasts.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Wanderlust
  • Mecca
  • Sweet Spot
  • Daughters
  • A Simple Beautiful Truth

🎵Now Playing: Cameron Winter - Heavy Metal (2024)

Have heard his name banded around a bit, and then saw this performance on Jools Holland and thought I’d give the album a shot. It’s a lovely, strange, folksy, poetic treat.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Nausicaä (Love Will Be Revealed)
  • Love Takes Miles
  • Try As I May
  • $0
  • Can’t Keep Anything

🎵Now Playing: Bat for Lashes - Two Suns (2009)

Bat for Lashes, I’ve not heard that name in years. But this is a stunning album with a song called Daniel that I can pretend is about me. Natasha Khan’s soaring vocals really sell her theatrical indie pop landscape.

Favourite Tracks:

  • Glass
  • Moon and Moon
  • Daniel
  • Pearl’s Dream

🎵Now Playing: Tune-Yards - Better Dreaming (2025)

It’s always a good day when a new Tune-Yards record is released. Today is that day! (There’s quite a few good records out today)

Favourite Tracks:

  • Swarm
  • Limelight
  • Get Through
  • Better Dreaming
  • How Big Is The Rainbow
  • Sanctuary

🎵Now Playing: Toots & The Maytals - Funky Kingston (1973)

Continuing with the reggae theme we move from one legend to another in Toots and his Maytals. I was lucky enough to see them play at midnight on the Truth Stage in Shangri-La at Glastonbury 2017 and they were still going strong. This is a classic.

Favourite Tracks:

  • In the Dark
  • Funky Kingston
  • Louie Louie
  • Pomps & Pride
  • Pressure Drop
