So…Glastonbury has kicked off!

Every year I say I’m going to get tickets, and then cop out because buying them seems like such a rigmarole.  There is way too much forwards planning involved for my liking!  But I’m saying it again “next year I will go”.

This years line-up looks pretty damn awesome…so in dedication a Glastonbury edition throwdown threes (as we haven’t had one in a while now!)

On the Jazz World Stage- Mos Def…(he’ll have a full band with him, should be epic)

On the John Peel Stage tomorrow- Wild Beasts…

And of course…Gorillaz

Whatever you’re doing this weekend- have some fun in the sun :)

The pace on Saturday was true slow summer.

A sweltering  day at the urdd eisteddfod with a picnic lunch watching performances.

Back into Aberaeron in the evening for great fish and chips in a seaside town.

An amble round the harbour to get an ice cream.

We went to The Hive on the Quay who have been selling sell renowned honey ice cream for 40 years . We were served by Sannan who turned out to be a true howies fan and a truely nice bloke.

We sat on the harbour wall and watched the sun over the Irish sea.

Roll off Autumn.

Talking of books its Hay festival this week coming, if you’re off to Hay, have fun in the sun, if you want to know more have a look what’s going on on their site.

On Friday night I went out to a gig at the Passing Clouds in Dalston called One Day in May.  It was a charity event to raise funds for The Medical Foundation and Encompass, with the likes of Lazy Habits, The Drop, Bunty and King Porter Stomp playing.

It was an awesome night…dancing till the wee hours.  Very tired the next day but so worth it!

When I used to live in Brighton a few years ago I saw Bunty perform a few times.  She uses just her voice an an effects pedal to create the most beautiful harmonies!  So it was a real treat to see her perform again.  She’s touring a lot this summer, so if she’s in your neck of the woods check her out.

Tim has let us take over the Throwdown Threes for a week, so here we go, enjoy the sun…

Devo – Whip it

A Tribe Called Quest – Scenario

Tiga – Shoes
