"It was Saturday night, and I was shitting myself. I'd never been to Glastonbury. I thought, 'This is not our audience.' We were on the main stage between Ocean Colour Scene and the headliners, Travis. I just couldn't see the relevance of us to this bill. I was feeling quite nervous, then just as we were walking up to the stage the lead singer of Ocean Colour Scene came running up to me and said [attempts pitiful Cockney accent], 'NEIL THEY'RE GONNA LOVE YA, YOU'VE GOT ALL THE SONGS!' He probably didn't sound like that; the voice is meant to indicate that he was a bit pissed. Anyway, we went on, it was still light, and gradually one noticed that the audience started paying attention. In the end it was quite good. - N. Tennant, 2010"
