but one by one, many of those have been forced to cancel. glastonbury was one of the first. in normal times, it welcomes nearly 200,000 people. but despite the uncertainty, some smaller events did get the go ahead, like this music festival in birmingham. after the first lockdown, we did glastonbury on the back lawn, so we set all our lights up and stayed in a tent in the garden and had the screens up. and just basically pretended we were at a festival. this is the first gig that i ve been to since obviously it all shut down two years ago now, was our last festival. so, yeah, it s good to have this as a first one and just get back into the music scene again. we came last time pre pandemic, and this one was super tiny- so it was her first ever festival. so it s lovely being able to be back, isn t it? - yeah. for the traders here, it s their first taste of work in 18 months. we was nearly two years out of actually being on events,
