FREE LOVE …ANYONE!

As world’s most optimistic hippy heads for Glastonbur­y…

AN AGEING hippie is offering to have sex with ANYONE who wants it at this week’s Glastonbur­y Festival.

Sol Moonbeam says that he will “happily” provide FREE LOVE during the week- long gathering, promising: “I’m not fussy – and I’m ready to share.”

Bandana- wearing Sol, 63, from Birmingham, West Mids, has been going to the music festival since it began back in 1970 – but admits in all that time he’s NEVER been laid.

Sol confessed: “Yeah, doodlebug, it’s true, man. The gaze of the sex gods has somehow never fallen upon me.

“But you know, that’s OK, man. That’s OK. I have music in my soul and love in my heart.

“Physical l ove is just around the corner. I can even hear her comin’.”

Now in its 42nd year, the festival opens its gates at Worthy Farm in Glastonbur­y, Somerset, on Wednesday morning.

Headline acts on the main Pyramid Stage this year are the Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys and Mumford & Sons.

Movement

The original event – at the time called the Pilton Festival – was heavily influenced by hippie ethics and the free festival movement.

But since then it has grown massively and now attracts around 150,000 revellers for the three- day music weekend, starting on Friday.

Sol – who runs a head shop selling all sorts of hippie parapherna­lia in his home – added: “I’ll be wandering around the stages offering my special love to anyone there who wants it.”

But Niamh Rowe, singer with newcomer band The Sundowners, who play on the BBC Introducin­g stage on Friday afternoon, said: “Is he joking? I’d rather sleep with a dead sheep.”
