Then Nulifer Yanya, great songs and great guitar. Some sort of jazzmaster and she also had a matching strat.

We rounded the music off with Fleet Foxes and then went to see a comedian, Mike Wozniak who made lots of references to Catholics in Luton. A very eclectic EOTR day. 

I took M to Salisbury station on Saturday morning as there was stuff she needed and stuff to do back home.. It didn't take as long as expected so got back for The Heavy Heavy who opened on the main stage. They sounded good in the sound check and were. They sound and look American but are from Brighton. Only had time for few numbers though as wanted to get over to the Garden for Margo Cilker. She's a great country singer with great songs. Every one I care for is either crazy or dead and Bilbao Precipitating to name a couple. I was hoping for a pedal steel guitar but instead just an excellent tele player. You cant have every thing. Fell for another false ending though. I really am losing my touch. Next up was Modern Woman in the  Big Top. Another band fronted by a female guitarist. Good edgy guitar based rock. Then headed over to the Boat to see John Francis Flynn, Irish folk with a bit of sax, electric guitar, drums and sampler thrown in. We would have stayed but were a bit uncomfortable sitting on stony ground so left after a few numbers. I noticed the drummer who was operating the sampler inserted a cassette into it. Modern Woman seemed to do the same. We found some heads in the woods.

The Wave Pictures had stepped in to replace someone so we watched from the back of the Garden stage. Then went to see Los Bitchos on the main stage. They are a sort female Santana (with male rhythm guitarist). Pretty good but a bit of a parody I thought. Sally then recommended Priya Ragu in the Big Top. I didn't think I'd like them at first as they are kind of modern rap/hip hoppy pop but they were excellent. Very professional with a great  guitarist called Rikki Lee, born in Malaysia and looks about 13. Then another female guitarist of a the acoustic variety Gwenifer Raymond on the Talking Heads stage. She's great but 'doesn't have a lot off' and when she snapped a string she didn't really know what to do. We then headed for The Pixies on the main stage. Got quite a way in and they kicked off with a few hits which was a good move. Unfortunately we were then joined by a group if very noisy irritating people who seemed to have very little interest in the band. Eventually we moved away which was an improvement. I joined Tom and Sally in the big top for Ross From Friends for a while. Dance music with a good lightshow. 

On Sunday I picked M up from Salisbury station. She was much refreshed. She'd had a call with JAM and found out that Warren had tested +ve when they got home. Fortunately the symptoms wre mild as he suffers from asthma. Got back in time for Jake Xerxes Fussel on the Garden stage. Great songs and finger style guitar played on an old telecaster. He's from Columbus, Georgia Y'all. Then watched Cassandra Jenkins an American singer songwriter with a bit if a Tom Petty look about her.

Then we saw The Lounge Society in the Big Top. They are an edgy guitar band. The guitarists swapped instruments a lot, including bass maybe based on who wrote the song. The main singer had a bit of a young Wilco Johnson about him. Great stuff. Then O. on the boat stage. Another sax and drummer duo. We tried to find the area in the woods where messages are written on leaves but couldn't.  However I did take a leaf to work on later.

Then Kurt Vile on the main stage who was ace. I remember seeing his set on the telly from Glasto a few years back and was really impressed. Its a bit one paced and you have to like his voice but it worked for me. Things get a bit hazy at this point. We may have gone to see Aldous Harding at the Garden stage but if we did we probably just stayed at the back. We then went back to camp for a while which was quite fortuitous as there was a massive storm while we were under the gazebo. There was then a rumour that for safety reasons that was the end of things but fortunately it wasn't and we got to see Yard Act. For me they were the best band. I like them anyway and thought it might just be the same old stuff but they've come up with some new songs which are really strong. A great finale. I should have gone to bed shortly after but ended up drinking more the going into the Tipi to catch the end of Bug Club doing a secret set. Then  more drink.....not a good way to end a brilliant festival. 

Fortunately it was dry on Monday morning for packing away and we got back just before 2pm. I must take more pictures next time. On they way back we heard that Liz Truss had been selected as the new prime minister.
