    Enjoyed the Sugababes, I know! Nitin Sawney was my highlight so far of what I've watched.
    There is no such thing as too much yarn, just not enough time.

    Paul Heaton was great, he's about the nicest man in music into the bargain. I saw a few people moaning about Rianne Downey but most of the complaints seemed to boil down to 'she's not Jacqui Abbott'.

    I wasn't sure about Dua Lipa headlining. She's not my thing so I was never likely to be blown away but her whole set seemed more designed for a TV audience rather than people actually attending. I think it might have worked better in an arena rather than a field.

    It was like a 2 hour MTV video. Definitely not my thing.

    I'm looking forward to seeing The National on The Other Stage tonight.

    My days as an avid Glasto viewer have long gone but I might see if I can catch Squeeze and Keane on the iPlayer some time.

    I heard that there were issues with the sound for most of her set. Only bit I saw was I Drove All Night which was fine.

    Kevin Rowland from Dexys was singing in keys and hitting notes that don't actually exist in the musical world he was that bad, and jeezo he looks like death warmed up, yea I know he's 70 but just looks ridiculous now and sounds it.

    Too-rye-ay used to be one of my favourite albums but I couldn't watch that, painful.

    Tried to get tickets but it's not a great lineup this year. Some brilliant stuff on the smaller stages but the big stuff not really my cup of tea.

    Camilla Cabello has to be the worst this year, one of worst sets I've seen from anyone ever.

    Will try again next year. Gotta get in one year.

    I’m not a massive fan of Coldplay, but they know how to put on a show. Must’ve been incredible to have been there last night. And bringing Michael J Fox on stage and singing Fix You got me.

    Enjoyed Paul Heaton’s set - Rianne Downey is brilliant. Kasabian looked brilliant - they get a lot of stick for keeping on going without Tom as front man but Serge is a superb front man.

    Watched Keane too - they’re sounding as good as they ever have. Shania Twain may look good but she didn’t sound overly brilliant.

    Must confess I have never heard of SZA so might tune in just to see what she’s about. Otherwise I’m not sure who I’ll turn in to tonight.
    You found your God in a paper back, you get your history from the Union Jack, and all your brothers and sisters have gone and they won't come back.

    I like Serge, he brings a lot of radge energy to Kasabian, although I must admit to not really seeing much of them before Serge gave Tom the boot

    Serge's goal at soccer aid and his effort on soccer am are legendary. He's some lad.

    Also, they a gave tom the boot cause he's a wife beating p.o.s.

    Crazy that there’s still tickets available. They’ll fill the Hydro later this year.

    They only announced it a couple of weeks ago to be fair. Seems a bit odd as they had a gig scheduled in Greece that day which got cancelled recently “due to a scheduling conflict”.

    Sitting in the garden listening to the View headlining Heartland Festival, Idle wild last night. Plus skerryvore and Tide Lines.

    They were completely right to boot Tom regardless if his wife is back with him, he was a **** bag. Unfortunately they were ten times the band with him. Serge sings it so soft whilst Tom snarled through it, he was some front man. Unfortunately with band it's the lead singers voice when you hear when you think of the songs, if they replace him it sounds like a cover band.

    I'm seeing Lcd Soundsystem tomorrow, have you seen them before?

    Not seen any Glastonbury yet, I'll catch some during the week.
