Saturday at Glastonbury

The brilliant Raconteurs performing Consoler of the Lonely

JAy-Z didn’t go down too badly either! According to Reuters UK,

‘The controversial choice of American rapper Jay-Z to headline Glastonbury proved to be a masterstroke by the event’s organiser Michael Eavis as the hip-hop star wowed the music festival on Saturday.

Oasis songwriter Noel Gallagher had called hip hop at Glastonbury “wrong” and traditionalists in Internet chatrooms had said they would have preferred a band like Radiohead, while critics also blamed the rapper for slow ticket sales.’

Apparently Jay-Z even took to the stage to the sound of Oasis’ Wonderwall which is fantastic. You’ve got to give it to the man, he has a sense of humour.

Amy Winehouse did turn out in the end as well and played an hour long set so things seem to be looking up for her. She even asked festival organiser Michael Eavis if she could headline next year.
