The Smiths at Glastonbury, 1984 (and 2023?...)

Hello you rock and rollers! This episode is all about how The Smiths maybe, possibly (but I say YES) transformed Glastonbury from the hippie festival it was known as into the juggernaut we know it as today, even talking about the recent appearance at the festival by one Mr. Astley backed by Blossoms. In order to tackle this huge subject, we've invited renowned Rick Astley super-fan and biographer Elise Soutar (@smilesawakeu) onto the show. You may remember her from our episode on The Top of the Pops, so give her a big returning welcome round of applause, just as her hero (Rick Astley) would!
