Glastonbury picks

I’ve gone through – roughly – 3/4s (that’s when I really, really had enough!) of this year’s Glastonbury line up looking for videos of each band and noting down those that might be interesting. Not ’cause I want to see all of them – I doubt I’ll make more than 5-10 before I am fed up – but more to discover new things. At first I’d considered dropping all too famous names, but then, after all, included better known ones too. In the end this post is really only what I’d like to catch, with only a few maybe ones left in [further down]. I’ll keep the really long list for my own reference. LOADS of videos below. Might take a while to load. Slight warning … it’s quite eclectic, but that’s also quite representative of my interests? :]

So hard a choice with these. Given the changing line-up, all the different re-interpretations of songs … went for live versions more than studio.

Third one to illustrate their often surprising cover versions.

Do I even … oh well, for completion’s sake.

 

Hidden Orchestra

 

Everything from here on is a “maybe”.
