Glasto 09- Old Boys Reunion


Michael Eavis' idea that this years anniversary festival should represent bands from each century had taken a more positive step.


The Concept of a band from each year of Glastonbury since its re-opening in 1970 was originally quaffed by the organisers but recent self confirmation from the old time Ska band Madness, crooner Tony Christie and novelty musician/vet/artist Rolf Harris surely paves way for an interesting mixture.


Madness reunited in 2002 after a 20 year on off hiatus with a musical based on their hits spanning two decades. The band have played various large scale gigs since the reunion including a tour at the O2 areana.


Other joining the confirmationas at the moment are, quirky 90's britpop band The Wonder Stuff, pop 'princess' Lilly Allen, Just Jack, Anvil, Little Boots, Florence and the Machine and The Red Light Company


Essential Listening


Madness- House Of Fun, Baggy Trousers
Lilly Allen- Smile
Red Light Company- Arts and Crafts
Wonder Suff- Size of a Cow
