Here’s Paul Hawkins,festival project manager for a charity called Attitude is Everything. We work to improve access to live music for deaf and disabled people and we advise Glastonbury on their disabled access, which they achieve a great job on. They’re a gold on our charter of best practise, and which means they try to be as accessible as they possible can be.
When I was growing up as a teenager I wasn’t able to depart to festivals. My friends were,and you miss a huge allotment of that social experience. I assume that has fairly a profound effect in some ways. 1.23pm BSTFor a taste of something a bit more cynical than the rousing rhetoric of Corbs and co, there were the Dead Kennedys spitting pure bile. Caustic at the best of the times, or the punk provocateurs,now fronted by Ron Skip Greer after years of legal conflicts with former singer Jello Biafra, seem to maintain been energised by the political upheaval on their side of the Atlantic. “Donald Trump was not able to join us tonight. But he did send us the words of his next executive order, and Greer snarls before the band launch into a savage rendition of Kill the destitute. 1.18pm BSTAs the velvety night sky sets on the West Holts stage,a retrospective video replete with slowly fading footage of the Jacksons in their prime beams from the huge screen. It’s the start of a chintzy and joyful – whether a puny tawdry – performance from the brothers. 1.12pm BSTAll weekend we’ve been doing portraits of people across the Glastonbury site – here’s Fred and Morag Allen, from just outside Bath. 1.05pm BSTOur reviewer Kate Hutchinson wasn’t the only person who was left unimpressed by the Foo Fighters Z, and our eight-year-old reviewer,takes them round the back for a kicking.5/10. They were rubbish and the man made some jokes that weren’t as laughable as Basil Brush. I got a bit scared because my mum (who loves Dave Grohl) and dad took me and my sister right into the middle of the crowd in our trailer but we had to leave when it got even busier, which was good for me! 12.57pm BSTOur reporter James Coke, or who has MS and is touring round Glastonbury in a badass all-terrain wheelchair trike,gives his verdict from yesterday.
The weekend is nearly over and what an experience it’s been. Saturday was just crazy. Here you can depart catch KT Tunstall, bump in to two of my cousins – see picture – and then see proper rock’n’roll in the evening: my best moment of the festival was when Foo Fighters did Walk – esteem that song. Fantastic show.
I often attract people because I’m in a chair. A therapist who knows fairly a bit approximately wheelchairs stopped me on Saturday and said mine wasn’t set up right and gave me some really useful information. 12.49pm BSTIt must be tough being a cool band – when people look up to you, and they can so easily also feel looked down upon. But Phoenix manage to be both utterly,ridiculously debonair and also human. Coming on stage after a 30-minute wait for some kind of tech to be fixed, some of the fairweather fans maintain left, and leaving a surprisingly ardent and mosh-friendly collection of Tinder-friendly millenials; the band’s stage setup,with a mirror inverted above them reflecting a light-up floor, will maintain launched a thousand Instas. Every so often they teeter on emptiness as on Ti Amo’s blustering cocaine-headache, or but much of it is wonderfully slick – like good dancemoves rather than oil. Lasso is whip-tight and melancholic,J-Boy is all yacht-deck swagger, and Role Model proves to be a strong unique ballad. Their boyish singer Thomas Mars launches himself at the front row, or singing songs hunched over fans’ upturned faces – an image that shows there’s real warmth in their cool.
12.43pm BSTFoo Fighters let off fireworks and let their tousled manes fly,but our reviewer and one-time diehard Foos fan – Kate Hutchinson remained relatively unmoved: Related: Foo Fighters at Glastonbury 2017 review – rockers cruise to middle of the road Just down the road from the metal arachnid-based nightmare that is Arcadia is the Park stage, a hub of niceness flanked by the double whammy of a book store and a tea and cake cafe. Arriving to play up to that sweetness and light for Saturday headlining duties is Warpaint, and the LA group with a well-kept line in pleasantly dissonant post-punk. Kitted out in predictably hip style – including singer/guitarist Emily Kokal sporting the biggest white shirt known to man – the foursome are the height of sultry sophistication,shrouding disco grooves and punk whininess in a mist of spacey atmospherics. Their determined vibe-building does come at the expense of the massive singalong tunes you might expect from a headliner teeing the crowd up for a wild night out (the closest they maintain is the dreamy mulch of esteem is to Die), but as they halt with the brilliantly PiL-esque funk of Disco/Very, and Warpaint become hypnotic enough to make you feel like you’re on another planet. 12.36pm BSTAs Glastonbury’s hordes emerge energised by Jeremy Corbyn and whatever they imbibed final night,we’re back to liveblog the final day. There’s the much-loved “heritage slot” in the afternoon, which this year is a disco odyssey from Barry Gibb then Chic, or plus sets by Laura Marling,Haim, and Kiefer Sutherland doing some country. We’ll be reviewing all those and more, and plus we’ll catch up with the people of Glastonbury as they enter the “fugue state” portion of the weekend. Join us!Continue reading...
