The Whip Hit Glasto With A Double Set

Drummer Fee: Playing Glastonbury is amazing!

The Whip Hit Glasto With A Double Set Add to My Fav Bands List

The Whip took time out to talk to Gigwise about their favourite festival today, fresh from a high energy set on the John Peel stage at the earlier-than-scheduled time of 1pm. 

The Mancunian four-piece whipped up considerable excitement from the crowd, despite the fact that most punters were looking slightly fatigued due to it being relatively early on the third and last day of music and sun-drenched revelry.

“When we turned up today it was kind of weird,” drummer Fee admitted of playing their dance music so early in the day, and in an open venue, “we were expecting the same sort of thing as we had last year in the West Dance tent, when it was full.”

Bassist Nathan added of the band’s self-titled dance music, “We’re used to really big, late night gigs, when everyone just wants to dance, but this is still the same thing with playing to that many people, even though it’s in the middle of the day.” 

During the set, lead singer Bruce advised the receptive audience that those who wanted to party should catch The Whip’s later set in the West Dance tent at 5.15pm.

The band were also delighted with the weather due to a violent hatred of wellies, with Fee saying, “I hate wellies with a passion.  You can’t dance in wellies and they look crap.  To be at Glastonbury and for the first time to not be wearing wellies is great!”

Festival-goers have been spoilt this weekend with temperatures soaring and clear skies to boot.  The weather shows no signs of changing for the final night festivities tonight.  Stay tuned to Gigwise for reviews in the coming days…
