reading festival 2004
we didn't get a very good view this year as we were over the other side and further back. still, managed to get some shots with my camera (whilst avoiding flying cider).

har mar superstar (before i worked out my shutter settings - but it's best he's blurred):
I'mquite jealous that you got to see Morrisey. Was he actually any good?
you know what ? he was !
at the beginning of the summer i wasn't that bothered about seeing him, but then i heard his new singles and saw him on the telly at Glasto and i was looking forward to it.
and he was really good (as was everyone we saw)
Hands up who thought the Reading Festival was some kind of literary event?
it's been renamed now to the Carling Festival and happens in two locations at once, so it's now the Reading and Leeds festival. With a massive sponsorship deal.
Groovy lineup.
