Thought I'd give a quick summary fo the w/e... was quality overall, got there in OK time but ended up in awful ca park miels from campsites 
GOt tent set up, had a look around and got pissed and went on some rides etc, bought some funky hats and sunnies... weather was all good
Saturday was overcast most of the day until KoL then bucketed down during Verve GOt soaked!
Saw Girls Aloud (awesome), The Feeling (bizarre), Lenny Kravitz (boring tbh ), Amy Winehouse (simply awful, words cannot describe how bad she was), KoL (OMG... thats all I can say  ), The Verve (short set, weather maybe to blame but still very very good)
Sunday was OK, dry and sunny for large parts, bit wet for Stereophonics and Muse
Saw Alanis Morrisette (quality but so weird lol), Duffy (really good actually!), The Kooks (good sing-along altho he does silly hings when singing live), Sterophoncis (amazing!) and Muse (out of this world!)
Soing of the w/e for me was Black Thumbnail by KoL... was the firts massive upbeat sogn they played and we wer eup close and I was just going mental  Left the ex with 2 lasses behind me and danced like a loon with random blokes
Good weekend  Up at 6am this mornign and got out just as it started pissing down!

Winehouse looks ominously like she's about to head for an early grave tbh, serious waste.
She's became a freak show rather than a talented singer.

From what I have seen on TV. KoL seemed pretty solid as with every live performance I have seen of theirs, The Kooks seemed good, maybe festival is a bit too big though as the crowd looked a bit flat compared to when I saw them at a small gig, Winehouse was awful, dancing like a spaz, singing was way off key. She is great live, she just needs to sort her personal life out.
Also I can't believe you actually stood and watched the feeling, what a shit excuse of a 'band'

The ex wanted to see them  They were OK, got the crowd goign etc but thye are hardly a proper band eh! I said this to her and wa spromptly told off for being a tosser
Kooks seemed fine at Stafford  had the crowd goign really well where we were altho Luke doesntr help as he sings really weird parts!

I like seeing the Pogues live, it's cheaper than going to Ireland to see my relations
