Was Glastonbury festival really so glorious?

GLASTONBURY used to be a festival where proper bands played to proper music fans. It now appears to be little more than another Pride event, all coloured wigs, make-up and rainbows.

It has become completely corporate, soulless and boring, just a place where comfortably off middle-class Lefties gather to virtue-signal and pose.

STEFAN BADHAM,

Portsmouth, Hants. WHY does the BBC believe there is one more person, other than the 200,000 who choose to attend, who is interested in Glastonbury?

BRIAN CHRISTLEY, Abergele, Conwy. THE BBC’s Glastonbury coverage was outstanding — and that set on Friday with Robert Plant and Alison Krauss was the best live performance I’ve ever heard.

PETER T. SMITH, Walsall, W. Mids. WHY were there so many stupid look-at-me flags and banners in the Glasto audience, blocking people’s view? In my concert-going days you could actually see the performers.

NAME SUPPLIED, Barnet, N. London. WAS it just me who thought ‘icon’ Diana Ross’s performance was dreadful? She looked very sparkly, but sang out of tune.

DAVID LLOYD, Belper, Derbys.

I WAS impressed by how inventively music critics tried to be kind to Diana Ross, with her out-of-tune singing. But Paul McCartney on this occasion defied my fears. I thought he was brilliant. Overall, this may have been the best Glastonbury ever.

IAN VERDON, Watford, Herts. I DISAGREE with Alison Boshoff (Mail) about Paul McCartney at Glastonbury. True, he looked good for 80 but the voice went years ago, so why is he still performing? He doesn’t need the money, so it must be ego. His set was out of tune and boring, until Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen showed up. TRICIA MITCHELL, Warwick.
