There's a secret underground piano bar at Glastonbury. A reporter went looking for it at a recent festival and reported back that there is no piano that I can see, the bar does not turn out to sell alcohol, and most of it is not underground.

Other times Glastonbury came up

  1. He's 80s. He's very cool though. Everyone probably watched Glastonbury this year and Jeremy Corbyn was there and got up on stage. Jeremy Corbyn is a parliamentary Beard of the Year winner and actually Michael Evis, if you can picture him, has a very impressive beard himself and he went up on stage with Jeremy Corbyn. Jeremy Corbyn gave him the Labour manifesto and as that was being handed over, there were just two beard legends on stage because Michael Evis won Beard of the Decade in 2009.

  2. Because he's got a very successful dairy. I didn't quite realise that Michael Evus is one of the most successful dairy farmers in the area. The guy who founded it. And that's why so quite famously, I think at the first Glastonbury ever, you got a free pint of milk, I think. It was £1 to get in, wasn't it? £1 to get in and you got a free bottle of milk. Really?

  3. It was the equivalent of like when you're trying to book Glastonbury tickets and you're in that queue where you see the man walking towards the tickets, it's like, okay, I'm there, I'm there in the queue, I've got my box, I don't know I look at me, I've never tried to buy Glastonbury.
