Well I saw Gilbert O'Sullivan on the acoustic stage, playing an electric piano. He actually climbed up on top of it at one point, and strutted his stuff!
There was a huge mass of people heading for the tent after Orbital. We gave up and went back to watch Pulp.
I've a vague memory of Evan Dando trying to play, standing on top of a bus(?), earlier in the day perhaps after he arrived too late/wasted for his 2:30 slot?
Added scan of the music listings for the day, to help us get our bearings... it was 20 years ago, and a very hot day!
I'm going to add Avalon Stage listings, and will do for the other days.
Ooh, and I've a feeling that Lonnie Donegan made a guest appearance with Billy Bragg on the same stage. I've no evidence for this though, and I would have been completely addled at that point, so, you know...don't take my word for this.
Re : Acoustic Stage - Evan Dando may have played the earlier set as well, but he also made one of the most ill advised "spontaeneous" appearances of his career when he bumbled onstage later in the evening as a massive crowd were impatiently waiting for Portishead to make a rare early appearance (possibly only their second live show ?? I may have that wrong, though).
The baying mob were not in the mood for airy, hippy strumming. The unquiet murmurs soon turned to slow hand clapping, then open vocal abuse. A few glasses started to fly, and though slow at first to take the hint, Evan was very soon gone.
Portishead finally came on bloody ages later, and were absolutely magnificent.
All 3 days now added for 1995! Main 5 stages only.
I've put a different image up for each day.
Can't find ticket/wristband (yet).
