Glasto Day Five (Sun)<\/strong><\/p>\n

With the toilets overflowing and supplies of babywipes running perilously low, things are starting to get very messy indeed.<\/p>\n

Yesterday’s downpour ensured that most of the site is one big field of brown slurry, peppered with unidentifiable lumpy bits.<\/p>\n

Attempting to traverse the main pathways is now something of an act of advanced balancing, with slippery wellies sending drunken legs in multiple directions.<\/p>\n

But the weather has cleared up!<\/p>\n

Sunday offered the best bill by far – but sadly many of the gigs clashed with each other.<\/p>\n

Faced with an overload of decision making, we decided to trek up to the Green Fields instead, taking cover in a hippy tea tent while the heavens opened. They did a nice brandy coffee.<\/p>\n

We checked out the Small World stage and the SchNEWS tents (they were showing some excellent activist videos) before getting back to the Pyramid Stage to see Josh Stone.<\/p>\n

You’ve probably already heard about this 16 year old white Devon girl with the voice of a 40 year old black woman, but it is something to see live.<\/p>\n

Some of her songs perhaps weren’t the strongest, but compared to her preening all-girl band contemporaries, she’s a hugely talented girl with a bright future.<\/p>\n

Some quaffing around the Cider Bus ensued before we settled down to watch Morrissey (but it was a very tough decision choosing between Mozza and GoldieLookinChain).<\/p>\n

Happily, Morrissey rewarded our decision with a storming<\/em> set which proved to be one of my Glasto highlights.<\/p>\n

Mixing in a few old Smiths song with some strong material, Mozza put in a compelling performance, with some quirky inbetween song announcements (“don’t buy my album”…”do you feel disgusting in all that mud? That’s how I feel everyday…without the mud”)<\/p>\n

Things got a little messy from here on in. We got drunk, ended up at the backstage dance tent for a strange People’s Republic of Disco and slid home…<\/p>\n
