Get Up Stand Up! at Glastonbury Festival 2010 – Another Blistering Success!

June 29th, 2010

The Get Up Stand Up! show took place in glorious sunshine on the Blazing Saddles stage.

Despite the hundreds of other bands playing around the site (not to mention the football on at the same time) a large crowd gathered. We got off to a flying start this year as Isy Suttie (the wonderful Dobby from ‘Peep Show’) got things under way with a hilarious set.

Marcus Brigstocke followed attacking all areas of life – and he even managed to keep his clothes on! The previous day, he had ended up with very little on at the Early Edition due to the heat. Tony Benn then gave a passionate speech against nuclear weapons and received a huge standing ovation – a real Glastonbury legend. The show ended with a stunning set from The Beat that had the whole audience dancing. All in all, a wonderful day.

Massive thanks to Marcus Brigstocke, Isy Suttie, Tony Benn and The Beat for making it such a fantastic show. Thanks also to Jess and the Blazing Saddles crew for all their help and to Chris, Jetske, Haggis and all at Theatre & Circus.
