Are you sure he was referring to the musical instrument?

Nice. hughes is all upset because no-one liked his comments about Glastonbury and he thought it best to take it out on me; very probably when drunk at 2.30 am.

Water off a duck's hughes; you should know that by now - and Glastonbury has been truly excellent. The Stones were incredible. That's some old gits with a different outlook on life that a curmudgeon like you. laughing

As a baby boomer the Stones relate to my salad days but I don't mind

Glastonbury. On TV naturally, there's no way I'd go near the place these

days. There's dross but some good stuff too.



The original poster has a point though, a weather forecast for those in

attendance is useless.

Everyone has mobile phones and Internet access Jim. People are looking at the weather on apps and sites every day and have been since they arrived! The people I know who are there and am in contact with by text are very interested in the weather forecast and are very happy with it!

It is pretty certain that few festival-goers will take time out from
viewing the main (or any other) stage in order to watch the national
weather forecast, and the people at home and sitting in front of their
TV are not going to be affected by the Glastonbury weather.

So, why bother?

…..and, yes I am an insufferable cynic.


Why should the 'festival' be reported on the BBC website homepage
throughout it's length?

It's only a pop concert.

Oh dear. I wish that I had never started this thread now.

That's what I said - we're all supposed to be agog, hence the

a big fan of the Beatles and Buddy Holly etc but that was nearly 50
years ago and one has to move on FFS.

How are we all supposed to be agog?
I don't get any impression of 'agogness' from the Glastonbury
forecasts. It's just a mention, that's all. And it will be of use to
people there as you'll be able to access it from phone apps and the like.

Have you actually seen the Glastonbury line-up?
From the Rolling Stones and the Arctic Monkeys through to
Billy Bragg and Kenny Rogers.
That's right Kenny Rogers, infamous purveyor of puerile shoutiness.....

If you are really going to right the whole thing off as crap then I'm
sorry but that does mark you out as a 'grumpy old man'.

Further to the Stones: 'Keef' has come up with some of the best riffs in rock. Funny enough Graham the last time I drove to Cornwall and Perranporth twice in 1980 (long bloody journey) to the sounds of 'Start Me Up' and the song that reminds me of Perranporth 1973 was 'Angie'.

It's amazing how music brings back memories.

In the event of you venturing this far again, let me know & we'll try & meet up for a drink.

Clearly Tudor feels that his trombone is far superior to any music that
might be performed at this tacky music festival called 'Glastonbury'.

There are a whole range of musical styles on offer at Glasto, does he
not like *any* of them?

To dismiss it all as 'crap' seems very sniffy to me and smacks of
'musical snobbery'.

Off topic? Well whatever.....
-------------------------------------------
Yes, spot on Col on that one. True musicians like most genres of music
provided the players are competetent.
In fact I made a vow as I got older not to criticise modern pop music as
my parents did with the Stones etc. I don't like a lot of it but it
doesn't mean it's bad or young people shouldn't be allowed to. Pop music
is all about being a teenager and probably in love and things hit you in
a different way then. Those were the days!
