Back story.
Excited build up, building as we waited for the "No access" rope to be lifted. Then a re-run of a mums sports day was played out as we grabbed the spot we had been eyeing up for the best part of two hours........ and yes! all friends and family were abandoned with the picnic by "a tree".
I was successful in that race. Me competitive? oh, and stubborn too.

The weather was again kind to us and we were treated to a somewhat "quiet" announcement of the band once they had all arrived on stage. Steve had forgotten to pack his razor again
Ill not share the set list.

Once the opener was away Steve pondered, inviting us all to stop, turn, and look left up and out over to The Tor sitting above us and then over to our right to gaze the mackerel skies. We drank in the beauty and energy of the place like puppets being guided on the strings.
The music did not stray from this mood and we were led along the familiar route, familiar to me .. A little puzzle of lyrics on the second?.. I dont think I winked or stuck my tongue out at this point did I ? Its allowed though for him..(as is both )

Im sure 9 numbers played with a couple producing tears needing to be held back and all knitted together along with good sound production (even from the front) making this another memorable evening.
I was not amongst the regular crowd but was hearing good vibes re the set and "I`ll u-tube that ballad" from a couple of " Ferry folk" I was standing by.
HAPPY smiles and still tingling. THANK YOU Steve and the guys.

Hi Joanna,

Sat down with a cuppa in the hope that there would be some feedback from Glastonbury. Thanks for all the detail, really enjoyed your description of the concert - just makes me want to see them again...before Manchester!

All good things!

We came over from Germany, which is odd I know as Mr H played not far from us on Friday, but we couldn't make that, so went to Glastonbury Abbey (wifey a bit of a Ferry fan, too)and it was FANTASTIC!! Steve got into them all the way to the back, around 8,000 people were there in brilliant sunshine and tracks like Journey's End, The Lighthouse and Sebastian really blew the audience away. Steve had us singing every word of Here Comes The Sun, right at the beginning, a MASTER! A Friend For Life was really touching , and many of the older people were visibly moved. Mr F had a little difficulty getting a reaction after Mr H had rocked the field in such a brilliantly skilled way. It was great to see and hear, and the band were on tremendous form. ROB

Hi Rob,

Thanks for taking your time to share your thoughts and feelings about the concert. A Friend for Life is a beautiful song, I'm not surprised at the reaction it received. Hopefully, some YouTube footage of Glastonbury will make its way on to the forum.

All good things!

My wife and I love Glastonbury and on one of our many stays there saw the Abbey Concert advertised. To be honest Steve Harley was a distant memory from my teenage years (Come Up And See Me). I've never followed his music since. That all changed on Sunday at the Glastonbury concert. Both my wife and I were just blown away by the music of Steve Harley and the band. It was just fantastic to listen to musicians at the top of their game. Have become a big Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel fan overnight and have now started to collect the many albums I missed out on all those years ago.

Thank you for a wonderful night.
