IT’S Glastonbury next weekend. I won’t be there and it’s fine. After the absolute honour of being invited to perform at 26 consecutive festivals dating back to the early 1980s, I wasn’t on the bill in 2017 and I’m not included this year.
It’s absolutely right that old gits like me make way for the new generation and if the line-up was the same as it was in 1983 I’m sure many people would be very disappointed!
I’d like to wish organisers Haggis, Charlotte, Helen and the team and all those performing in my old stomping grounds — the Cabaret Marquee and the Poetry & Words Tent — a happy, healthy and above all DRY festival.
