Music Weekly at Glastonbury: Gorillaz, Kele Okereke, Joe Banana

As the first cider hangover starts to fade, the Music Weekly team pull themselves together to deliver our second Worthy Farm podcast.

We promised you guests last night and we didn't let you down. Tim Jonze met up with Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz to find out how they were gearing up for their headline show. Would it compare to Blur's triumphant performance in 2009? How did they convince grumpy Lou Reed to have some fun in the sun? And were they, like, bricking themselves having to stand in for U2?

Elsewhere on the show, Alex Needham caught up with former Bloc Party man Kele Okereke to find out about his new solo electro project and hear his rather debauched hopes for his Other Stage set. Meanwhile Rosie Swash met the man behind festival legend Joe Banana, who has been keeping punters warm with his blankets for years (Rosie first bought one when she came as an eight-year-old!).

Of course, host Alexis Petridis, Rosie Swash and Tim Jonze join forces to discuss Friday's events - from Snoop Dogg to Hot Chip - and look forward to Saturday's delights. We'll be back bright and early for another one tomorrow - see you then!
