📺 A chairde Gael,

The propaganda wing of the regime has just contacted us.

They WILL put our set from Glasto today on iPlayer this evening for your viewing pleasure.

The crowd expected today is far greater than West Holts capacity so "you'll need to be very early to catch us father...VERY EARLY"
