1) What's your favourite moment of the festival so far?

When Remi Nicole had an acoustic guitar and sang one of my songs at me. That freaked me out!

2) What's the weirdest thing you've seen whilst you've been at Glastonbury?

Everything seems a bit straight. No hippies is the weirdest thing I've seen so far. It's weird seeing no hippies at a festival.

3) What should be banned on site?

Being polite should be banned. It needs to be more offensive here. Definitely.

4) Do you have a festival survival tip?

No. Do whatever you must.

5) Where did you sleep last night?

In my friend's caravan. It was small but cosy.

6) What have you eaten today?

Absolutely nothing. Not a morsel in 12 hours! I don't get hungry here.

7) If one historical figure could play Glastonbury, who should it be?

John Cleese. Is he a historical figure? He is in my mind. He makes me laugh.

8) What one law would you like to introduce on site?

I don't think there should be laws in a situation like this. It should be lawless and frivolous. But there are a lot of laws here already and I wouldn't want to add another one.

9) What time did you start drinking today

11am, when the bar opened. I wanted a Bloody Mary but I think I ended up with a Pimms. Don't tell anyone.

10) If you were writing a Glastonbury poem, what would the first line be?

I wandered lonely as a puddle.
