Good vibrations in Glastonbury
Theo and Louise Fennell are about to lose their Glastonbury virginity this year and I’m feeling very jealous. They paid more money than Theo will dare admit for a pre-erected tent in a special, posho area of the festival site, where the Fennells are less likely to embarrass their daughters Emerald and Coco (who’ll be slumming it with the ordinary punters). If I can somehow blag a press ticket I’ll be joining them like a shot, for Glastonbury is without question the most wonderful festival in the history of the universe.
The first time I went was in 1990, and I got a bit addled. I’d just worked my way into the very thickest part of the huge crowd which had gathered to see the Happy Mondays when things got rather alarming. I became convinced that the music was chasing me and had to run — faces looming, cold sweat dripping — all the way back through about half a mile’s worth of packed revellers.
