i can't wait to get back to that stage. i tell you, it is an amazing stage. i love glastonbury. # got the love, got the love...# glastonbury is many things. a kaleidoscope of characters and colours. but it's also always been very green, long before anyone was concerned about climate change. tickets! meaning this, the world's smallest solar powered mobile cinema, fits in perfectly. it's been very sunny, as everyone knows, and we can store that electricity, that solar electricity, in our leisure batteries, so we will be taking a bit of the south wales sun to glastonbury. and from an audience of eight, to potentially 90,000, this bristol windrush choir are performing on the pyramid stage ahead of eltonjohn on sunday. i got a call on a friday morning.
i was asked, are you sitting down? i said, oh, goodness, yes. so, sat down and i was told that we were going to perform at glastonbury, which is immensely exciting. and then a minute later i was told it's the pyramid stage. this is absolutely massive. i remember literally last year hearing allj about diana ross and all of - the amazing singers and line up at glastonbury, and thinking, i want to go, i want- to be there next year. i had no idea i would actually be there and leading the choir- and singing myself- on the pyramid stage. that'sjust really mind blowing. i know that the glastonbury crowd is going to be really buzzing because we're going to be on in the midday when the crowd is rocking. and because of reggae music, people are going to love it, so they will be jumping for joy.
