Wedding belles
There is an age old Glasto tradition of dressing up in bridal attire and we were only too happy to give it a go. The Oxfam stalls here have a fab selection of second hand wedding dresses and tuxedos for a tenner which sell like hot cakes. Becs and I managed to get ourselves some cracking dresses and our ‘husband to be’ Stuart got himself a rather smart tux and a couple of Oxfam badges did the job as cufflinks.
Our big day began with a trip to the John Peel tent to see Bat For Lashes, an awe-inspiring musical experience from the super talented Natasha Khan. Then it was on to the weird and wonderful Lost Vagueness where being in fancy dress is the norm. There is actually a wedding chapel there where people can pretend to get married, nothing legally binding I might add, but it was closed when we arrived. We still enjoyed dressing up, and it was all for a good cause.
We have set up an Oxfam unwrapped wedding list all the same, so if anyone wants to contribute there are brilliant gifts on there, including providing people with safe drinking water or a toilet.
We finished the evening by watching the living legend that is Iggy Pop and The Stooges. He really rocked and had fun inviting half the crowd up on stage with him. On our way back to our campsite we stopped in at backstage where I managed to slip over in the mud. Luckily a very helpful band helped me up and said that Luke from The Kooks had just done exactly the same thing!
