EP 2006

Best Bits
Friday, 1 Sep

  • PJ Harvey, Crawdaddy stage.
    PJ solo, raw as ever and on fire; talking more than i've seen in all the shows put together to ease her nerves.
  • Massive Attack, Main Stage.
    Horace Andy was there and Liz Frazer for Protection (McG caused a stir by suggesting it was Sinead O'Connor)
  • Mogwai, Electric Arena.
Saturday 2 Sep
  • New Order, Main Stage.
    They learned from their last Glastonbury show and did not hold back on the crowd pleasers.
Sunday 3 Sep
  • Laurent Garnier, BodyTonic Arena.
    Perfect musical end to the festival. Finally got to see him live. His breakdowns were only possibly from a DJ who has earned the right and by the second half he had brought us to his wave length and the eb and flow stood up big style.
  • Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Main Stage.
    I had never read about or seen them before and Karen O's energy was awesome.
  • Pendulum, Electric Picnic, BodyTonic Arena.
