The day one highlight for me was Mew's performance (see clip below). I always thought they sounded good on record, but their live set was a truly epic experience. The next set on the Uncut stage, from Squeeze, was a sure fire crowd pleaser for us oldies. I also elected to stay on at this stage to see the headline act - Bat For Lashes - but regretted my choice. Miss Kahn' may be hailed as the new kate Bush, but after two or three of her songs, the format became rather predictable and started to grate, at least to my ears. I managed to catch the final number from Pet Shop Boys, who were headlining on the main stage. In retrospect, I should have opted for this act to close the day.
