Ater being banned for many years for a lign in a song about the CND Mark e Smith drew in nearly 300,000 to see a five minute moment in the Giorrillaz set that, unsurprisingly wasn't a Glastonbury moment where melancholy is an emotion beyond the intelecual capacity of the mass. Supported by many support acts, huge sculptures and constructions, circus acts etc. Mark came on, fiddled with Mick Jones amp and sang in to an unwired mic, usual sutff for Fall fans. The Mark e Smith festival was awash with sunshine and those of a lower IQ were kept happy with all the support acts and amateur artwork. Stranglers were finally let in too. It seems that the festival, known for it's other distractions is finally starting to embace music too.
