Glastonbury // Shanri-La // Hell Stage // and the rest :o))))

 

Hell stage on what could have been any night post mi'night!

 It's difficult not to gush about Glastonbury, because even though it comes with lots of frustrations both as a punter and as crew

 - the clutch in my car broke on the way! several glass hammers were lost and we're still looking for Tofu's umm hat - 

there is simply no other festival which has so much creative thought, time and effort  poured into it, somewhere which remembers it's roots but can come up with something for everyone - whether it be dark alleys filled with strange, fetid creatures from some Shangri-La's artists' broken melonS or wellies, the pyramid stage and bare strongbow.

Tofu, Continental Drifts and Global Local are a proper part of this  mind STAGGERIN' area. OI OI! Here are some highlightsssssssssss....

Global Local and London Remixed Festival bands smaaaashed it. You represent Shangri-La more than any BBC act (even though they're good, don't get me wrong, and we love havin em) Can't wait to have youz at LRF 2013..

Wara and Cal (Movimientos)

Afriquoi  (chek out Andre's mix of all that he saw at Glasto - http://www.mixcloud.com/wearebigchill/bobby-gandolf-a-journey-through-glastonbury-2013/)

Sam and the Womp

After midnight the Hell stage came to life (unlife?) with tons of pyro..it felt like a pit of squirming human worms ready to do whatever the horned devil mc told em. it was great! so we put on a load of bbc artists including the likes of rudimental and diplo.

chek out the videos below..

Rudimental:   http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/ej58q9/acts/adnq2m#p01c4kjj
