I was phoned back by vodafone today (Sunday), by one of the people who promised to, who had just come back to work after time off, and who followed up and let me know the connection was now live.
Good on him,
so they are on…

Well, if the BBC coverage is anything to go by, they seem to be going over reasonably well with the crowd.

I always thought that going to Glasto purely or mainly for the bands on…

How many decent sized music festivals are there in NZ each year? I literally have no…

People going to Glastonbury have to like music enough to make the effort and fork out four hundred dollars.

There are people in NZ like that, but probably no more than two or three thousand.
