Back in the seventies, Glastonbury was leftist and anarchistic; a festival firmly rooted in critical, political commentaries. This year, despite the fact that Beyonce was headlining and that the likes of Wayne and Coleen Rooney and Kate Moss were "glamping" (what a repellant tabloid word); Michael Eavis had promised us that the forty-first Glastonbury was going to be a field of political discontent, a "sounding board of unrest", as he told The Guardian.

Sienna Miller sort of dressed like one in 2007. The Dandy Warhols wanted to be one, like you. They’ve even got their very own rhapsody. Now Australian singer-songwriter Joel Sarakula has written a song about bohemians, and a fine little song it is too.

It’s been rather a tumultuous time in Taking Back Sunday as of 2010. With the unexpected departure of both Matt Rubano and Matt Fazzi, fans were left pondering where the band would go from there. In an even more unexpected twist, John Nolan and Shaun Cooper from the band's ‘Tell All Your Friends’ era returned to the fold and now the band are back on top form. Does this reunited line-up mean their latest, self-titled release is a sequel to the album they worked together on all those years ago? Not in the slightest. In fact, this album is a breath of fresh air.

Nettleton is a small village on the cusp of the Lincolnshire wolds. Sunday the 26th of June saw the quiet village transform into a louder village with the annual Nettleton Beer and Music Festival. Providing music and beer all afternoon and into the sweet summer evening graciously projected from the truck stage. The festival had been looked down on by the weather gods, the Lincolnshire brewed cider was sweet dry and strong. A gem for the week’s end.
