Too grand for bandstand: The Wurzels walk

The Wurzels have taken the hump and pulled out of Glastonbury. They were unhappy at being shoved on the bandstand stage.

But it's not just they feel their dignity has been impugned; they're more upset they can't use their own sound engineers.

That, and that their dignity has been impugned:

"We would have loved to play but we don't feel it's right," said Tommy Banner from the band.

"Other novelty acts like Rolf Harris have been on better stages and we think we deserve it," added Pete Budd.

Although, to be fair, Rolf Harris is regularly on TV and - when he played - hadn't long since had a big hit with his cover of Stairway to Heaven whereas for all the goodwill towards the Wurzels, it is a while since they were at their peak.

Mind you, they're going to be fuming when they discover the Black Abbots are headlining the Pyramid Stage on the Sunday.
