Hi my job is to get tickets for everyone (not difficult this year) and to provide some entertainment for lasting memories.

This year we have a Tipi again but it should be better because we are in “the Park”. We should be able to see Pete Doherty if he turns up!

At Glasto 2007 I provided a lasting memory by getting my wellies stuck and then slapstick comedy ensued as Sam tried to pull my boot off whilst I held on to the Bedouin Cafe tent pole. The whole tent rocked as Sam pulled and a quiet Canadian singer (think Joni Mitchell) sang sweet songs and then invited us all to touch her. I would have done if I could have got that boot off! In the end Steve sloshed back to the Tipi and got his trusty Swiss Army Knife and cut off the boot.

This year highlights for me will be "Sun", Elbow, John Cale, Neil Diamond, Edwyn Collins and no doubt any one else I happen to fall into a tent to see. Lets try and make Glasto 2008 a memorable one whatever the weather. Stand by for more blogs between now and then end of the festival. l Jon x
