The Waterboys - best known for their hits The Whole Of The Moon and Fisherman's Blues - are Glastonbury veterans, and ready to spend their 12th year hanging out at Worthy Farm.

"It was like Brigadoon, the magical village that only appears once every hundred years. I've never found it again. I can't even find it in the map."

He said that was the year Shirley Bassey, who was playing the Legend slot, wore diamond encrusted Wellington boots to keep out the slop. "I like some sparkling water, some honey from literally some fruit. And I always ask for a pint of whole milk. There's a reason for that - it's so I could put it in my muesli tomorrow morning in my hotel."As the home of Glastonbury, Worthy Farm, Pilton Somerset is a dairy farm, that should be a simple request to satisfy.

Scott said his young daughter, who aspires to perform, is"proud" of him, and he hopes to bring her along to the festival next year. He explained:"I loved the word Waterboys. I didn't know what it meant. I know now, of course, it's the guy that brings the water to the chain gang or the sports players. And it's an everyday word in America, but not here in the UK."
