For the last 10 years we have been doing parties at Glastonbury Festival. Through mud, blood and sweat we have brought you what many people describe as The Best Party at Glastonbury.

We had to deal with slightly mixed weather this year, with rain to start, ending with a scorching Sunday followed by a bit more rain on Monday... We managed plenty of celebrity spotting, with Chris O'Dowd from The IT Crowd and Suggs of Madness fame showing up at the stall (although we weren't quick enough with the cameras to get a shot of Suggs singing along to Baggy Trousers...) and James managing to get a sticker on Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney!

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2010
Hot hot hot! We rocked out in the middle of a heatwave, inspired ideas for the weekend were definitely sunglasses, anything that produced shade and of course the paddling pool!
Massive shouts to all the usual suspects, plus those random guys from Preston who danced around topless for hours singing Public Enemy... Maybe you had to be there...

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2009
Another great year, more sun than rain, and soon we'll all have recovered. We rocked some of the best parties ever, sold some T-shirts and met some great people.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2008
What I remember of this year is limited, but I have been told it was a good one. We were back in the Spunky Laser Dome and to celebrate our 10th birthday we had an exhibition. We had artwork from China Mike, Cheba, Molar, Cheo, 45RPM, The 5683 and onsite we had Eddie Fett and Hero73 who made it look the best it ever has. We got Micheal Eavis wearing a Spunky sticker and I even got to fly round the site in a helicopter which is one part I do remember.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2007
We went, sold our wares, put on some great Spunky Soundsystem parties, and we returned, covered in smelly mud. Yes, it took about 6 months to remove all the mud from everything that we owned, a tough year. It was a little bit like what I imagine World War One was like in the trenches, minus the killing. We had our new marquee and filled it with artwork painted on site by Matt Sewell, 45RPM, Eddie Fett and The 5683.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2005
Mud, Mud and more Mud! This year saw the return of the Spunky Soundsystem for a successful 6-day bender at the Glastonbury Festival. We had the Electro Neon Aerobics Girls dancing in the mud, all the normal Spunky DJs rocking the party and our first year of Black Tie night. Harry was on the cover of all the major newspapers swimming in the mud. It was one of our best years ever despite the swampy conditions.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2004
This year we were back in the church fete marquee 'borrowed' for Glastonbury. Matt Sewell painted a wicked piece for us of Glastonbury farm animals. The party rocked all night and the weather just about held.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2003
Arguably the best year ever! The first year we had the Spunky Laser Dome. We nearly got shut down before we started but after purchasing emergency lighting and putting barriers around the soundsystem we were allowed to start. Once we started we didn't stop! We had Bongo Paul, Paul da Silver on sax, the dude from Aime MCing and all the Spunky Djs, it was awesome. Unfortunately I was passed out in the back of the van for most of it, but even DJ Sasha was in our tent that year.

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2002
Another great year... Spunky was represented by Zoe Ball and the Lost Prophets. We were down in D market opposite Radio 1 this year and ran pretty much 24 hours. Spent a lot of the time taping people to bins!

GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL 2000
Glastonbury 2000 was possibly the best week of my life. It was the first real public outing for Spunky as a clothing label. Up until this event we had been purely online and trading out of a bedroom. Everybody loved it; the concept, the t-shirts and the party (and back in those days the party ran till 10 am when the shop opened!). It was here I learnt the first rule of business: K just say neigh!
