I have decided to go last minute. As of yesterday when I saw the weather. And HMV were practically giving tickets away. It will be the shortest one ever but I can't wait to see my all time blues hero Buddy Guy tomorrow night.


If anyone can record BBC 4 at 22.30 on Sat night please let me know. As you'll see me in a muddy field with my banner "Buddy Guy Is God". Slightly blasphemous. But appropriate for the greatest electric blues player in the world. The man who Hendrix learned from. Total Genius. I cannot wait!

This sounds about right to me. Not always a bad thing, I love the Raconteurs and the Kings of Leon.

Well I won't win any prizes from my mates for arriving saturday and leaving Sunday this year but I had a great time. Trains were empty Saturday and luxurious first class was only a tenner more. Shuttle straight to the site - and bone dry! Not a hint of mud. The papers made a lot about a some shower on Thursday night but it was nothing.


And for me a genius result as my Buddy Guy Is God banner was all over BBC4 - the cameras loved it. And Buddy put in a fine performance! He truely is god!

Well, you def went at the right time then MrBen. It was mud and rain central on Thursday night (the night I had most sleep thank God) and Friday daytime. Was so good to see the sun and be able to sit on the ground again. Hallelujah!

    • These events were unforeseeable whereas the effects of Truss's reckless budget could have been foreseen despite her unshakeable and deluded beliefs and could, should have been avoided
    • I called James and he said he's now retired 😞
    • Don't forget the impact of the last banking crisis, covid, furlough and the energy price impact on the economy or aren't those factors that caused a financial black hole in your view of the world? 
    • Oh dear! The general response is that my experience of Jon Hartley is the norm. That’s bad. As an update to my issue with him, Ellie Reeves’ office advised that I contact the Southwark Labour Party Chief Whip in the first instance with my complaint. Coincidentally, the Chief Whip turns out to be Cllr Maggie Browning. She acknowledged my complaint and, in response, said that she had ‘spoken’ to Jon Hartley and appeared satisfied that he’d now responded to me. Not sure that’ s an adequate response, since it seems to been well-known that he consistently ignores constituents. Maggie will know that better than anyone as she’s paired with Jon in our Ward, and she’s having to pick up the stuff which he’s ignoring. As people have noted, Maggie does indeed respond to constituents but she’s now on maternity leave. Alas, I think that means we’re lumbered with just Jon. I’ve bypassed him in respect of my own issue, because I think he’s a waste of my time. In case anyone else should be having problems with him, especially now that Maggie Browning is away, I’d recommend emailing Ellie Reeves MP. Her office is very responsive in my experience and, if she hears from enough disgruntled constituents of Cllr Hartley, I imagine she be quietly speaking to the Southwark Constituency Labour Party about him. Ultimately, if he stands again, he won’t be getting my vote. Be annoyed people, be very annoyed ! Your vote should count for something and the candidates privileged enough to get it should do the job they were elected for!
