A GLASTONBURY TALE (15)

Hopes, Dreams & Wishful Thinking

So, there are still some 'Very Special Guests' to be confirmed. Now here's who I think should be contenders

Portishead. With their new album; 3rd out (it's one of my birthday presents ;-)) and the fact that they aren't playing any festivals (read that in the 12 April Telegraph Magazine interview) this summer and their reclusive gigging nature, it would be great.

The Sex Pistols. Various rumours that they will play Glastonbury, I so hope so. I missed them in Sheffield when they played 'The Mucky Duck' (The Black Swan pub) the first time around. I saw The Clash, The Ramones, The Damned, Generation X... This would be a completion thing.

Led Zeppelin. Secretly, this is why I bought my ticket. I'm over the moon with who is playing. If I only get to see one band, I'll be happy, contented, wish-fulfilled, chilled-out and be able to take the rest of what life has to throw at me. But, Led Zepellin... What a back catalogue to plunder. But Led Zeppelin though!

Guns 'N Roses. Guns 'N Roses play the whole of Chinese Democracy, announce its release date and it's for sale exclusively at Glasto. Now that is wishful thinking...

Well, you can but dream...

(Oh, and Blind Guardian fly in from Germany play a set that includes the trailer from Sacred 2, as well as 'Welcome to Dying', 'Under The Ice', 'Sadly Sings Destiny', 'Mordred's Song', 'Lord of the Rings' & 'The Bard's Song - In The Forest' among others and blow everyone else away. 'Welcome to Welcome to, Welcome, to dying...)
