So, with only a few days to go to the final ever Glasgowbury, its only appropriate to look back at some of the highs and lows (and by lows I mean such hijinks as getting too drunk to see your favourite band, or someone opening the door on you when you’re in the port-a-loo) of the past 13 years. In fact, let’s not dwell on the inevitable drunken mishaps, as the final Small But Massive festival draws nearer, here’s our personal highlights from the past few years:
1) The drum circle which led revellers from the campsite to the arena at last years festival. There’s no better way to kick off a festival than the sound of crashing drums, screaming and chanting, followed by a conga line of drunk people winding their way through the fields.
2) Any year The Pocket Billiards played. You can certainly rely on the The Pocket Billiards to bring everyone together and to pull a big crowd of people dancing, jigging and jumping to their unique brand of Northern Irish ska. Plus there’s nothing quite like the first time you ever saw nine people squeezed on a stage frantically playing all at once.
3) Therapy? headlining at last year’s fest.
Therapy? were definitely one of the most highly anticipated headlining acts in Glasgowbury history, and they did not disappoint. In sharp suits, and with a lot of banter, Therapy? certainly reinforced themselves as key players in the Northern Ireland ‘music scene’.
4) The year of the signs. From movie and tv show spoilers, to the never-ending puns. The year of the signs was definitely my favourite. A sure fire conversation starter and they made the place look a bit more interesting.
5) That view. Enough said.
And with that, I leave you with some of our previous posts to whet your appetite for this years festival. Be sure to look out for a few more posts in the next couple of days for all your Small But Massive needs!
