Glastonbury 1994 My first Glastonbury festival, went in my van, hard to fault the lineup on the NME stage... Blur, Pulp, Oasis, Beastie Boys, Bjork, Manics, etc. Britpop-tastic. Glastonbury
Reading Festival 1999 Blur headlined, not a very strong lineup I don't think. I was working mostly, and managed to lose my first mobile phone that work lent me. Reading Festival
Reading Festival Just went for the day, and we picked the worst day by far looks like, RHCP disappointed. I remember They Might Be Giants and Echobelly and Ginger Wildhearts playing with a broken arm. Reading Festival
Reading Festival 2000 Placebo, Queens of the Stone Age, Slipknot, Gorky's, Foo Fighters, Ween, Primal Scream, Daphne and Celeste, JJ72, SFA, And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead, At The Drive In... Reading Festival
Essential Festival Super Furry Animals, Kula Shaker, Menswear, Echobelly, Marion, Chumbawamba, Bis and more... missed David Devant, but I did trek there with 16 people in my bus. Stanmer Park
Tiger plus Linoleum. Had to walk back from Southampton after being stopped with no lights on my bike, then head to Phoenix Festival the next day. The Joiners

Heineken Festival Kirsty MacColl and Tom Robinson. Honestly, I went to some better gigs than this. Southsea Common [Thursday 19 August 1993]
Beetle Bash VW festival, think this is the one with Collapsed Lung, Reef, and The Prodigy, with Keith Flint rolling across the crowd in a big hamster ball... Avon Park Raceway
Essential Music Festival Carter USM, PWEI, Teenage Fanclub, Dodgy, The Charlatans, Gene, Lighting Seeds, Skunk Anansie, Reef. Think I was at this... Stanmer Park
