Anyone else watch their set at Isle of Wight festival last night? Apart from Simon needing to step away from the pies it was a cracking set, considering he’s 62 he’s still got a great voice.

I was there - yes a fantastic set.
A fitting end to a fabulous festival. It really felt like the past year + 1/2 are actually behind us.

They were really tight, but also having good fun with it. - Simon thrusting the mic into Nick Rhodes' face to get him to sing along, and he just went "not doing that". Hilarious.
I was near the front, but found the bass too overpowering making it muddy. Which was a shame because I really wanted to listen to John Taylor's bass playing.

Downside is I had to miss Razorlight, as I had a ferry to catch.
Catching the midnight car ferry was an achievement, as I had to walk half way to Fishbourne, it seemed!
