Great live band, PSB. I was watching North Mississipi Allstars on Avalon, really enjoyed that one.

Excellent. It was 2022, back of the Tipi fields, I think? I mustn't have taken a photo of it, I snaffled that one off Twitter. There's loads of old news stories about it if you search "Prince Andrew graffiti Glastonbury", though they all seem to have blurred out the offending word.
😁 Was it yours?

Sometimes the world seems a bit shit, it can put you in a bad mood.

• Team GB gold medal winner
• Some photos from a gig I was at

Life is good.
