By a country mile the best act I saw at Glastonbury. A pleasure to witness history made.

Apparently several professional hi- def cameras recorded the event for Mike Batt's record label. The campaign for a DVD/Blu Ray release starts here.

Gutted I didn't go to Glastonbury this year. I would have travelled to Tomsk to see the Wombles. Come on Mike Batt, how about a world tour to Adelaide, Wellington, Tobermory, Cholet, Bulgaria, Omsk, Bungo, Alderneyand Yellowstone?

@KangoTV I love U2 and have seen them a few times, including 2 years ago on the 360 tour where they were breathtaking but, trust me on this, The Wombles were miles better as an experience than U2 last weekend. I saw both!

According to Mike Batts Tweets they were there with five HD cameras. So you can expect new footage soon.

@KangoTV U2? Oh, right, my mother loved their music. Only joking.. a little. (My mother really did enjoy U-2.) But the Wombles have wonderful pop music, and have lasted for over 20 years so far. That's impressive in the music business, you have to admit.

@KangoTV Your stab at the dark was very close but I in fact formed a punk band in 1994-1996 in my late 20's. We did not get anywhere success wise but always went down well live. When people don't know you personally but shout for more was a great buzz. Were we shite? I didn't think so (Our music was punk but we all dressed normal.....no mohawks, bondage trousers etc. When U2 1st started 1980-82. They had energy but the Clash/SLF/Killing Joke/2 Tone/XTC/Bauhaus/Pil shat on them. An opinion

The highlight of Glastonbury, seen from a clear viewpoint with good sound. The BBC were there but we wouldn't know the Wombles had been had it not been for people like rseamer. I made my protest by turning wotdoesthisbuttondo's idea into a Downfall parody. Mind you, I've just had the idea for a wombling licence - guarantees live coverage of the Wombles and the best acts at Glastonbury, do you think they could do it for less than £1.7m? lol

@kingofpunk1977 Then you have my sympathy! This is just a stab in the dark but judging by your name and anti U2 comments, did you by any chance form a teenage punk-ish band in the early 80's (with a similar sound to U2) but not get anywhere cause you were shite?
