From previous blog posts you will know that I’m a huge music fan and sometime armchair festival attendee. The two big annual music festivals are of course Coachella (covered by YouTube) and Glastonbury (covered by BBC). These are very different events in many ways and Glastonbury has far more scale and complexity than Coachella. That said, this year’s Coachella coverage by YouTube was a high water mark as you can read in my [previous post].

 

I love the way that YouTube had ...

Back in Victorian times you would promenade daily, year-round down Park Lane and along Pall Mall until the summer ’Season’ hit, when you could take your showboating to a more extended range of venues.
