So, Amy Winehouse did, in the end, make it to main Bestival stage on the Isle Of Wight for her Saturday night headline set, albeit 45 minutes late - having been delayed, reportedly, because she first refused to cross some muddy grass, and then because she had to be picked up after collapsing after downing some of that much reported JD on the rider. There were mixed reports of her actual set - which had to be cut short because of the late arrival. Some say she was, once on stage, on top form, though others say her set was rather shambolic, noting she forgot the words to 'Back To Black'.
We'll find out what Team CMU thought once our no doubt mud-caked reviewers return from the Isle. They'll be mud-caked because the rains also showed up at the normally dry Bestival this weekend, leaving those fancy-dressed festival-goers awaiting Winehouse's delayed set rather damp. A three hour rain storm on Sunday meant Bestival bosses had to close the BBC Introducing Stage early, cancelling sets from Sam Sparro, Lykke Li and Black Kids.
But Bestival boss Rob da Bank says the rain didn't affect his festival's traditionally good spirits, telling NME: "Obviously people are going to moan about the rain but but I've been to enough muddy Glastonburys to know that things always come good in the end. I've had loads of people come up to me and say this is actually the best Bestival they've ever been to. Onwards and upwards!"
Look out for the CMU Bestival review later in the week.
