0:00:03 > 0:00:06Glastonbury, the world's biggest party
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and the hottest ticket for any music lover.
0:00:08 > 0:00:15This year saw the most famous music festival celebrate its 40th birthday.
0:00:15 > 0:00:19200,000 people got the chance to see world-class musicians perform.
0:00:21 > 0:00:26Since 2007, BBC Introducing has supported unsigned
0:00:26 > 0:00:30and under-the-radar musicians, giving them radio play,
0:00:30 > 0:00:35the chance to record live sessions and the opportunity to play live at Radio 1's Big Weekend,
0:00:35 > 0:00:37T In The Park and Glastonbury.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Introducing has helped launch the careers of Florence And The Machine,
0:00:45 > 0:00:48Bombay Bicycle Club and The Ting Tings.
0:00:51 > 0:00:56At this year's Glastonbury Festival, 32 new acts were selected to play the Introducing Stage.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59Now it's like hit me, bang!
0:00:59 > 0:01:01Glastonbury, isn't it? It's Glastonbury.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05We followed three of them - one for each day of the festival -
0:01:05 > 0:01:08as they prepared for the gig of a lifetime.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10I want to get out there and just give it some.
0:01:11 > 0:01:15Could playing Glastonbury propel them to stardom?
0:01:15 > 0:01:19I need to stay calm, and that's my biggest thing.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21I just have to stay calm.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34For Birmingham hip-hop group Da Mighty Elementz, the journey
0:01:34 > 0:01:38began a long way from the green fields of Glastonbury.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51DME have been together for ten years and enjoyed some success locally,
0:01:51 > 0:01:54supporting the Black Eyed Peas in 2000.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Getting national recognition has been tough.
0:02:00 > 0:02:05But after uploading a track to the Introducing website in November, things started looking up.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09I get a phone call, you know, "Do you want to do Glastonbury?"
0:02:09 > 0:02:12So I'm thinking, "Well, which prat is this?"
0:02:12 > 0:02:13You know what I mean?
0:02:13 > 0:02:16"Who's winding me up now?" sort of thing.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20You know what I mean? And when she said, sort of like,
0:02:20 > 0:02:23"This isn't no joke -
0:02:23 > 0:02:25"we really want you to do it."
0:02:25 > 0:02:28I said, "Steady on, love - I need to sit down."
0:02:28 > 0:02:30So the first thing I do, I tell Rise.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33He pretty much had the same reaction, you know.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36We were talking, "We need one more set, we need one more show."
0:02:36 > 0:02:39Then, bang, out of nowhere, gives the group life.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41We were going to do Glastonbury.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44# Yo
0:02:44 > 0:02:46# I come through raging
0:02:46 > 0:02:47# With all guns blazing
0:02:47 > 0:02:50# Aiming a shot at those who underrate it
0:02:50 > 0:02:53# The flows are the rating Co-ordinating
0:02:53 > 0:02:55# You're going against nature... #
0:02:55 > 0:02:59'It's been a long time coming because, to be fair,'
0:02:59 > 0:03:02if you're an artist, you've got to believe in your stuff.
0:03:02 > 0:03:04'Not to be big-headed, but you have to feel it.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07'So it's fantastic the BBC recognise us.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10'That's why Introducing is good - it's a different route.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13'We did traditional routes - urban music stations.'
0:03:13 > 0:03:14We just couldn't get anywhere.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17We went to Introducing and they gave it the ear.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19They listened to it, and put it out.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22'They didn't have to give it to the people at Glastonbury.'
0:03:22 > 0:03:24Look where we are now - we got the show.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28But they're not living the rock and roll lifestyle just yet.
0:03:28 > 0:03:33With young families and mortgages to pay, the lads all work day jobs.
0:03:33 > 0:03:38Reuben, aka DJ Rise, spends his days installing credit-card machines.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42'Couldn't be further away from the dreams and hopes of performing'
0:03:42 > 0:03:43at places like Glastonbury,
0:03:43 > 0:03:46because this is our nine-to-five, or my nine-to-five,
0:03:46 > 0:03:49and this is what I do on a daily basis to keep me sane.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52The chances of making it big in anything is slim to none,
0:03:52 > 0:03:56so you need something to kind of like keep you on a level.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59It doesn't stop me hoping and dreaming at the same time.
0:03:59 > 0:04:00It keeps me grounded,
0:04:00 > 0:04:04because it reminds me what I have to do on a day-to-day basis.
0:04:04 > 0:04:06That's what we all aim to achieve -
0:04:06 > 0:04:10wanting to be a musician, and to be an artist full-time
0:04:10 > 0:04:14and just live the dream, basically.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16# 5,000 miles away We wind the clocks at night
0:04:16 > 0:04:17# To hear the arms in motion
0:04:17 > 0:04:19# Psychedelic, leave you hypnotised
0:04:19 > 0:04:21# We utilise, five guys Five times synchronise
0:04:21 > 0:04:24# We knew the time before sundials existed... #
0:04:24 > 0:04:25It's a bit mind-blowing.
0:04:25 > 0:04:28I don't think a day don't go by where we're thinking,
0:04:28 > 0:04:31"We're actually being asked to play at Glastonbury this year."
0:04:31 > 0:04:34And all the focus is just really on that,
0:04:34 > 0:04:38but at the same time, it hasn't sunk in that we're actually playing at Glastonbury,
0:04:38 > 0:04:40which is absolutely nuts.
0:04:40 > 0:04:41# Yo! I'm on the ground like CTU
0:04:41 > 0:04:45# When your CTU want a link like a CPU... #
0:04:45 > 0:04:49As excited as the lads may be about the gig, they've also got a few reservations.
0:04:49 > 0:04:54Playing a festival is a far cry from the venues they usually play,
0:04:54 > 0:04:57and they're not exactly happy campers.
0:04:57 > 0:05:01I'm trying to get the whole concept of camping, and then performing,
0:05:01 > 0:05:02and then coming back to camping.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- So... Yeah...it's... - It's going to be...
0:05:05 > 0:05:07It's a whole load of new...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- It's a challenge.- It is a challenge.
0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Because we don't... Well, I'm not a camper.- Yeah, we're city boys.
0:05:13 > 0:05:17I like my creature comforts. I like electricity to be there, you know?
0:05:17 > 0:05:19TV, cooker...
0:05:19 > 0:05:21# From our tracks to our remixes
0:05:21 > 0:05:23# Give me a beat Ride it like Seabiscuit
0:05:23 > 0:05:25# I'm back now the heat is on... #
0:05:25 > 0:05:29You're trying to get some kip and you've got Worzel Gummidge falling over your tent.
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Trying to poke his dusty head through your flipping tent at half three at night.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38It's going to be a very, very shocking sort of thing. You know what I mean?
0:05:38 > 0:05:40# We got the beats, yo brothers It's moving
0:05:40 > 0:05:43# We keep it positive Smash through the negative
0:05:43 > 0:05:45# Throw your hands up Perform like you never did
0:05:45 > 0:05:47# We keep it moving We keep it grooving
0:05:47 > 0:05:49# We got the beats, yo brothers It's moving
0:05:49 > 0:05:51# We keep it positive Smash through the negative
0:05:51 > 0:05:54# Throw your hands up Perform like you never did. #
0:06:06 > 0:06:09It's Glastonbury 2010.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12Despite now entering its fifth decade,
0:06:12 > 0:06:16the festival is set to be the biggest and best yet.
0:06:16 > 0:06:19Festival-goers will get the chance to see hundreds of artists perform
0:06:19 > 0:06:24across the huge thousand-acre site.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25It's Thursday afternoon
0:06:25 > 0:06:29and after a gruelling seven hours, DME arrive on site.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32But it's not been the easiest of journeys.
0:06:32 > 0:06:33- BLEEP- hell, man.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Honestly, man, that's all I've got to say, man.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- So how was your journey? - Shocking. Shocking.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41- Gremlins, that's all I'm saying. - Shocking.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44What can I say, man? My car broke down, man. The alternator went.
0:06:44 > 0:06:47We ended up leaving Birmingham about 5pm.
0:06:47 > 0:06:51It was crazy. It was like we weren't meant to be here. But we're here now.
0:06:51 > 0:06:54Just set up camp and get ready.
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Get ready for tomorrow, really.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00But car troubles are the least of their worries.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02They seem to be one member short.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05Reuben should be here tomorrow, so...
0:07:05 > 0:07:07He's had a long, stressful day
0:07:07 > 0:07:10- and now his car's playing up as well, so the curse...- Really?
0:07:10 > 0:07:12You're spreading the curse.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14He's got the suits, the hats, the equipment.
0:07:14 > 0:07:17So it's essential he comes tomorrow, and if he doesn't,
0:07:17 > 0:07:21there will be no show, literally. That's it, kaput. Job done.
0:07:21 > 0:07:25So fingers crossed, hopefully he'll be here tomorrow.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36But it's onwards and upwards, as the boys face their biggest challenge yet,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39finding their campsite and pitching their tents.
0:07:41 > 0:07:43LAUGHTER
0:07:45 > 0:07:47That's how you do it, boys!
0:07:51 > 0:07:53I'm just watching the experts.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57And then I'll sort my tent out afterwards.
0:07:58 > 0:08:00I've never slept in a tent before.
0:08:00 > 0:08:03It's a learning experience for me, you know what I mean?
0:08:03 > 0:08:08Just watching them, man. I'm trying to get him to set up my tent for me.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09Josh has got the...
0:08:09 > 0:08:11He's got the skylight, man.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20An hour in and with everyone else's tent almost done,
0:08:20 > 0:08:24first-time camper Tony seems to be struggling.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28But with a little help from his friend, he finally has a bed for the night.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32However, our city boy still has his reservations.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35- I feel vulnerable, man.- I know.
0:08:35 > 0:08:37I just feel like a baby, man.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41You know? I just feel like all sensitive and stuff.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42You know what I mean?
0:08:44 > 0:08:47I mean, that's my bag in there, man, you know?
0:08:47 > 0:08:51- Leaving it, and that. - I'd like a bit more security than just a piece of canvas.
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Know what I mean? I'm not saying there's anything in there, but...
0:08:54 > 0:08:56tramps and things.
0:08:57 > 0:09:00As the campfires roar across the Glastonbury site,
0:09:00 > 0:09:04DME settle in for their first night under the stars.
0:09:12 > 0:09:18It's Friday morning at Worthy Farm. The sun is shining and with people still arriving in their droves,
0:09:18 > 0:09:23the sold-out festival looks set to be a winner.
0:09:23 > 0:09:28And kicking off the 40th anniversary on the Pyramid Stage is Glastonbury veteran Rolf Harris.
0:09:28 > 0:09:30# Ooh, and it makes us wonder... #
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Master of ceremonies at the Introducing Stage
0:09:37 > 0:09:40is Radio 1's New Music DJ, Huw Stephens.
0:09:42 > 0:09:44'I think everybody makes music'
0:09:44 > 0:09:47that wants to be heard by more than just themselves,
0:09:47 > 0:09:50and BBC Introducing makes that happen,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53whether it be on the radio or on the stages here at the festivals.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56And to do it at the biggest and the best festival in the world
0:09:56 > 0:09:58is a big thing, I think.
0:09:58 > 0:10:02The Introducing Stage is opened by surprise special guests,
0:10:02 > 0:10:05and this year's hot ticket, Mumford And Sons.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07# Roll away your stone
0:10:07 > 0:10:09# I'll roll away mine
0:10:11 > 0:10:16# Together we can see what we will find
0:10:18 > 0:10:20# Don't leave me alone
0:10:20 > 0:10:22# At this time
0:10:24 > 0:10:30# For I'm afraid of what I will discover inside... #
0:10:32 > 0:10:37The Introducing Stage is just one part of Glastonbury's commitment to new music.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39It's always been about supporting new music.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42We're passionate about getting new bands on.
0:10:42 > 0:10:46Will you please give a huge Introducing welcome to Napoleon In Rags?
0:10:46 > 0:10:48CHEERING
0:10:51 > 0:10:55# Well, cold love came in on a Saturday night... #
0:10:55 > 0:10:58I think the best place to discover new music is at the festival,
0:10:58 > 0:11:01so it's like the ultimate marriage, in a way.
0:11:01 > 0:11:02# Don't let it out
0:11:02 > 0:11:03# Don't let it out... #
0:11:03 > 0:11:06'It's the best thing when people come through
0:11:06 > 0:11:09'from the smaller stages up to the headline slots.'
0:11:09 > 0:11:13It's really satisfying when you see that, and you can book a band as the headliner,
0:11:13 > 0:11:18knowing that they've come through from some of the much smaller stages supporting new music.
0:11:20 > 0:11:24The world's biggest party is now in full swing,
0:11:24 > 0:11:27as festival-goers embrace the great outdoors.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Now that they're all here, how are DME finding their festival experience?
0:11:31 > 0:11:37We thought it was going to be, like, just a bit bohemian, you know what I mean? Just a bit, like, basic.
0:11:37 > 0:11:41You get what I'm saying? We thought we were going to literally have to rough it,
0:11:41 > 0:11:47but the shower facilities and the toilets - it's not too bad, man. It's an experience, isn't it?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49You've got to take it as an experience.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52We've got, like, backstage passes as well.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54So we're just going to try and...
0:11:54 > 0:11:57You know what I mean? See what's popping off backstage.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00See what all that's about, you know what I mean?
0:12:00 > 0:12:02On a humble trip, though.
0:12:02 > 0:12:05Because obviously we're bottom of the food chain,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08so we're not going to invade the place like normal Brum men do.
0:12:08 > 0:12:13# Maybe, sometimes
0:12:13 > 0:12:16# We feel afraid
0:12:16 > 0:12:20# But it's all right The more you stay... #
0:12:20 > 0:12:24With an hour to go before their Glastonbury debut, Da Mighty Elementz
0:12:24 > 0:12:26head backstage to rub shoulders with the stars,
0:12:26 > 0:12:28and pick up some last-minute tips.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31# Girl, put your records on
0:12:31 > 0:12:34# Tell me your favourite song
0:12:34 > 0:12:37# You go ahead, let your hair down
0:12:39 > 0:12:41# Sapphire and faded jeans
0:12:41 > 0:12:43# I hope you get your dreams
0:12:43 > 0:12:48# Just go ahead Let your hair down... #
0:12:48 > 0:12:53- Has it come to the point where, all your gigs, you don't get nervous?- No, I always get nervous.
0:12:53 > 0:12:58- I feel like you need it, you need that adrenalin.- Yeah, you definitely need that buzz.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01I find it hard to separate nerves from excitement, even in other things.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04"Am excited or am I nervous?" I can never tell.
0:13:04 > 0:13:05It's the same emotion for me.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08Advice for us, how would you...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11say, like, how to deal with it? Because it's new for us.
0:13:11 > 0:13:12I guess you just sort of ride it.
0:13:12 > 0:13:16I feel like I try not to think too much about how important it is.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19You're trying to do your work and get something out of it for yourself.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22My favourite gigs are where you're in it,
0:13:22 > 0:13:24'and you get lost and forget what you were doing,
0:13:24 > 0:13:28- 'and you forget you're in front of an audience.- That's the best.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30'That's why I'm always looking for that moment.'
0:13:30 > 0:13:35- Half the time I've got my eyes closed...- I know!- I think, "There's all these people! I forgot."
0:13:35 > 0:13:39- I'll be looking out for that now. - She's got her eyes closed, and she told us that!
0:13:49 > 0:13:52On the Introducing Stage, Bristol band Out Like A Lion
0:13:52 > 0:13:55have drawn in the biggest crowd of the day so far.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57# Oh, oh, whoa
0:13:57 > 0:14:00# Oh, oh, whoa
0:14:00 > 0:14:02# You're telling me
0:14:02 > 0:14:05# Teacher's going to tell you a thing or two... #
0:14:05 > 0:14:10But backstage for a suited and booted DME, there's another problem.
0:14:10 > 0:14:13As per usual, something's gone a little bit wrong,
0:14:13 > 0:14:16so we're just waiting on the DJ now, who forgot his trousers.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19So, yeah, we're just ready to go now.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22It's just that we're waiting on a build-up.
0:14:22 > 0:14:23Just want to get out there.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Yeah, just want to get out there and just give it some.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Not a very good look, but it wouldn't be DME if everything went to plan. Really and truly.
0:14:30 > 0:14:34No dicky bow. I've got jeans on. Not a good show.
0:14:34 > 0:14:37This is the last time you'll see me before I go on stage.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Peace, everyone! Come on, let's go.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42The crowd's looking quite healthy. Better than we expected.
0:14:42 > 0:14:46The more of a crowd we've got, I think the more we'll give back to them,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48so hopefully the energy will come through.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51# When the pimp's in the crib, man
0:14:51 > 0:14:52- # Drop it like it's hot - What?
0:14:52 > 0:14:53- # Drop it like it's hot - What? #
0:14:53 > 0:14:57Wardrobe malfunctions may be the least of their worries.
0:14:57 > 0:15:01Unfortunately for DME, they're up against stiff competition,
0:15:01 > 0:15:04with rap legend Snoop Dogg on the Pyramid Stage.
0:15:04 > 0:15:06In an ideal world, we wouldn't want to be
0:15:06 > 0:15:07up against another hip-hop act,
0:15:07 > 0:15:12because I assume that anyone who's into hip-hop is going to be at the Snoop stage.
0:15:12 > 0:15:14But, you know, roll with the punches.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17Whoever's out there, they're going to get a good show, so...
0:15:17 > 0:15:18see what happens.
0:15:18 > 0:15:22DME's worst fears become a reality,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25as they set up to a near empty tent.
0:15:25 > 0:15:30It's down to them to give it all they've got to pull in the punters.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32Straight out of Birmingham,
0:15:32 > 0:15:35supported by BBC Introducing in Birmingham,

0:16:08 > 0:16:09# Want to see me fail
0:16:09 > 0:16:10# Well, I ain't trading places

0:16:19 > 0:16:20# To all you haters... #
0:16:20 > 0:16:23It seems things aren't as bad as they feared.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25The boys give a confident seamless intro,
0:16:25 > 0:16:29enticing passers-by to stop and check them out.
0:16:29 > 0:16:30# You ain't hard, son... #

0:16:49 > 0:16:52# Mr Kingpin of the bling-bling See my rings? Bling-bling... #
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Snoop may have pulled the crowds away, but the lads don't give up easily.
0:16:56 > 0:17:02After 20 minutes of high-energy performance, there's no doubt the audience is on their side.
0:17:02 > 0:17:04# I get busy off the liquor Quicker
0:17:04 > 0:17:07# I tell you which one's getting loose off the liquor...
0:17:07 > 0:17:09# I'll maybe get a look and a drink from her
0:17:09 > 0:17:13# Baby, I'm a little crazy Too much liquor in your cup
0:17:13 > 0:17:14# Maybe
0:17:14 > 0:17:16# I'm from Brum So it's all about fun

0:17:23 > 0:17:25# You steer me on the track
0:17:25 > 0:17:28# Front and back Yeah! #
0:17:28 > 0:17:30OK.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31Glastonbury, we've been DME.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33You've been brilliant.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Thank you very much, yeah?
0:17:35 > 0:17:37CHEERING
0:17:44 > 0:17:46We got through it, we've done our set.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48No hiccups. We're very happy.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52A few geezers there, giving it... you know. But you know...
0:17:52 > 0:17:55Yeah, man, as long as us three are on stage, and our DJ,
0:17:55 > 0:17:57we're going to have a vibe anyway.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59We're going to continue to do what we do.
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Hopefully, we'll get a few more sets and a few more stages, a few more venues.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06But you know, we're operating without a manager.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08We're just four local lads doing our thing.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11And we hope the UK can get with us, you know?
0:18:13 > 0:18:16For Da Mighty Elementz, the gig is over
0:18:16 > 0:18:19and it's time to see what Glastonbury has to offer.
0:18:19 > 0:18:21# Overload, overload
0:18:21 > 0:18:23# Coming up to the
0:18:23 > 0:18:24# Overload... #
0:18:24 > 0:18:27Gorillaz bring Friday to a close on the Pyramid Stage,
0:18:27 > 0:18:33with an epic star-studded performance, playing to a crowd of over 100,000 people.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35# Oh, stylo
0:18:36 > 0:18:40# Go for blossom in your soul
0:18:41 > 0:18:43# When you know the sky is light... #
0:18:43 > 0:18:48As Glastonbury-goers party into the early hours, another 11 acts
0:18:48 > 0:18:52prepare for their chance to play the Introducing Stage.
0:18:59 > 0:19:04Selected to play the stage on Saturday is Manchester-based Celt Islam.
0:19:10 > 0:19:14Celt Islam is a project of mine.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17In fact, it's my DJ alias.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19I used to be DJ Celt Islam.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24It has many sounds and flavours,
0:19:24 > 0:19:29but it main core is dub-driven dance music. That's what it is.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34And it's dub-driven dance music with a fusion of Western,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37Middle-Eastern, African, Asian flavours.
0:19:37 > 0:19:42The live outfit of Celt Islam is made up of a collective of people
0:19:42 > 0:19:48from many backgrounds, from punk, reggae, to even, like, traditional Indian Qawwali.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51Myself, I run the sound, play keyboards, percussion
0:19:51 > 0:19:57and I'm the main writer of the whole Celt Islam fraternity.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00MIDDLE-EASTERN-STYLE RAPPING
0:20:05 > 0:20:08'A big part of my life is my faith.
0:20:08 > 0:20:15'I'm the only white British Muslim convert in this scene on the circuit.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18'My music that I make'
0:20:18 > 0:20:22is part of my spirituality, so you're getting a little taste.
0:20:22 > 0:20:25You're not getting the whole thing, because the whole thing is in me.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33Abdullah converted to Islam 20 years ago at the age of 17.
0:20:33 > 0:20:38'People might think that being a Muslim and doing what I'm doing somehow conflicts.
0:20:38 > 0:20:41'I would argue completely different.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45'Our school allows music under specific rules and regulations.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48'If I'm expressing myself in a pure way,
0:20:48 > 0:20:51'with a pure heart,'
0:20:51 > 0:20:55to enlighten people and to make people happy
0:20:55 > 0:20:59and make people think, and positive things, that's accepted.
0:21:02 > 0:21:06Abdullah has worked as a musician for 15 years
0:21:06 > 0:21:09and pays his way producing other people's music,
0:21:09 > 0:21:12making samples and putting on club nights in the North West.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18Abdullah has always wanted to play Glastonbury,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20but until now has never had the opportunity.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24He uploaded one of his tracks to the Introducing site back in April
0:21:24 > 0:21:28in the hope of landing the gig of his dreams.
0:21:28 > 0:21:33It gives artists like me a chance to be heard and seen,
0:21:33 > 0:21:38when normally, you know, we're not given those chances,
0:21:38 > 0:21:40and it brings new artists forward
0:21:40 > 0:21:44and people get to hear something different.
0:21:50 > 0:21:54MIDDLE-EASTERN STYLE RAPPING
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Until recently, Abdullah worked as a solo artist.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05But after sending tracks to DJ Bobby Friction at BBC Asian Network,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07Abdullah decided to change tack.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09'His advice he gave to me was,'
0:22:09 > 0:22:14"Go live, take it live with a band now
0:22:14 > 0:22:20"and you'll really get somewhere with it because it's unique,"
0:22:20 > 0:22:23because this type of music is mainly just DJ-ed.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29'It's a gig I've always wanted to do
0:22:29 > 0:22:32'and to do the BBC stage is like a double whammy for me.
0:22:32 > 0:22:35'It's a great opportunity for things to happen for me.'
0:22:35 > 0:22:41You know, I just know that I'm going to bump into the right people.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56It's Saturday morning and the sun shines on a new day at Worthy Farm.
0:22:56 > 0:23:00Today it's Celt Islam's turn to take to the stage.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03- Greetings.- Hi.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08We're in Glastonbury. It's wonderful.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11We've finally made it.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14There was some mad traffic in Birmingham,
0:23:14 > 0:23:16but now it's, like, hit me, bang!
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Glastonbury, innit? It's Glastonbury!
0:23:23 > 0:23:26Celt Islam have set up a home from home,
0:23:26 > 0:23:31leaving them plenty of time to catch some rays before they take to the stage.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33'Well, we are now camped here'
0:23:33 > 0:23:37in Glastonbury at the artists' dance area.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40And what's going on right now is...
0:23:40 > 0:23:42"chillaxing" -
0:23:42 > 0:23:44totally relaxing before the gig.
0:23:44 > 0:23:48It's just nice to get out with my friends and have a good time.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51And to be able to play at Glastonbury is a bonus as well.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54The BBC Introducing Stage is nice.
0:23:54 > 0:23:59I like it. It looks nice. I've not really heard its sound properly yet.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04I'm going to check the sound out today, cos my main concern is bass.
0:24:04 > 0:24:08I think today we're just going to create some nice atmospherics,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10get all the lights off us
0:24:10 > 0:24:15and just have some smoke and strobes and create a bit of atmosphere.
0:24:17 > 0:24:21Well, there's no shortage of atmosphere at the Pyramid Stage,
0:24:21 > 0:24:24with Seasick Steve wooing the festival crowd.
0:24:24 > 0:24:25# Trapped
0:24:25 > 0:24:28# Like a rat
0:24:28 > 0:24:30# I was caught
0:24:30 > 0:24:31# That's a fact
0:24:33 > 0:24:34# I
0:24:34 > 0:24:36# Want to fly
0:24:36 > 0:24:39# Like a bird
0:24:39 > 0:24:41# Over these walls... #
0:24:41 > 0:24:45The backstage area at Introducing is filling up thick and fast
0:24:45 > 0:24:49with rumours of another surprise performance.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Glastonbury!
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Out front is looking good, too.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59Nottingham band Dog Is Dead go down a storm with an energetic,
0:24:59 > 0:25:02if slightly chaotic, performance.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:21 > 0:25:27Back at camp Celt Islam, with an hour before the big gig, the band cram in a last-minute rehearsal.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37These are some of the various percussion that we're using today.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Two djembes, bongos.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43We've got plenty more percussion instruments,
0:25:43 > 0:25:48but we need these out in the sun today so they can absorb some warmth
0:25:48 > 0:25:51and we'll get a really nice tone for when we get on stage.
0:25:51 > 0:25:55This one I'm going to wear up on a harness so I can play it.
0:25:55 > 0:25:57It's a brand new one, actually.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59I just got it given to me.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02It'll be the first time it's ever been gigged, that.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04Show us the family bedroom.
0:26:04 > 0:26:08Oh, well, it's a mess at the moment cos there's all our stuff inside.
0:26:08 > 0:26:11There's, like, stuff all over the place.
0:26:11 > 0:26:16But up here there's bunks and there's two beds down here as well.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18And we've got seats and stuff.
0:26:18 > 0:26:22But at the moment, you know, we're just kind of relaxing and,
0:26:22 > 0:26:28you know... I think a little bit of chaotic mess is good for the psyche.
0:26:28 > 0:26:32# Ten sliver spoons coming after me
0:26:34 > 0:26:38# One life with one dream on repeat... #
0:26:38 > 0:26:41Since her Introducing debut last year,
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Welsh pop princess Marina And The Diamonds have graduated to the John Peel Stage.
0:26:46 > 0:26:51Marina gives a supercharged performance to the Saturday afternoon crowd.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57# Oh, Lord
0:26:57 > 0:26:59- # I have been told - I have been told... #
0:27:01 > 0:27:04'Huw Stephens invited me to play the Introducing Stage
0:27:04 > 0:27:07'at Radio 1's Big Weekend in Swindon,'
0:27:07 > 0:27:10and that was my first ever festival.
0:27:10 > 0:27:14I was so nervous and I did mess it up a bit.
0:27:14 > 0:27:18But then the next year, well, this year, I got invited back
0:27:18 > 0:27:23and it was, like, 5,000 people, from maybe 250 people.
0:27:23 > 0:27:25# Cuckoo! #
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Sing it back! # Cuckoo! #
0:27:27 > 0:27:32'For me, advice to other bands is really based on what I experienced,'
0:27:32 > 0:27:35which is that I used to go out on stage thinking, "Everybody hates me,
0:27:35 > 0:27:39"nobody likes me, everyone's going to think I'm rubbish."
0:27:39 > 0:27:43But, really, people have made an effort to come and see you,
0:27:43 > 0:27:45so they already think you're good,
0:27:45 > 0:27:49and it's just really important to connect with the audience
0:27:49 > 0:27:51and to believe that it's just you and them,
0:27:51 > 0:27:54you know, screw everyone else outside of the tent.
0:27:54 > 0:27:56# Before you
0:27:56 > 0:28:01# Yeah, yeah My life was acapella, ah, ah
0:28:01 > 0:28:06# Now a symphony's the only song to sing
0:28:06 > 0:28:09# Oooh, ooh... #
0:28:09 > 0:28:13Saturday's special guest proves to be a real treat.
0:28:13 > 0:28:19Abdullah heads side of stage to check out Plan B's amazing performance.
0:28:19 > 0:28:20# The only song
0:28:20 > 0:28:21# The only song
0:28:21 > 0:28:24# The only song
0:28:24 > 0:28:26# The only song
0:28:26 > 0:28:27# The only song
0:28:27 > 0:28:30# To sing. #
0:28:30 > 0:28:33CHEERING
0:28:44 > 0:28:49'It's refreshing to hear nice, good talent.'
0:28:49 > 0:28:54And I'm not even into this music, but my hair stood on end,
0:28:54 > 0:28:57and I just thought, "These are great, these are fantastic."
0:28:57 > 0:29:00'After seeing Plan B, I'm more confident than ever.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03'I think it will be fantastic.'
0:29:03 > 0:29:07With an hour to go, Celt Islam get into the festival vibe,
0:29:07 > 0:29:10hanging out with the movers and shakers backstage.
0:29:10 > 0:29:15It's great to just the chill here and get away from the madness of what's out there, you know.
0:29:15 > 0:29:19It's great being out there, but you do need a break now and again.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22So it's nice to just chill back here and see a few interesting folk.
0:29:22 > 0:29:25I just saw Jo Whiley.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27Her arm brushed my arm.
0:29:27 > 0:29:31I was blessed by Jo Whiley. I just wanted to tell her,
0:29:31 > 0:29:35"You're responsible for my mother being completely obsessed with Coldplay."
0:29:35 > 0:29:39A huge supporter of Celt Islam's music is BBC Asian Network's
0:29:39 > 0:29:43Bobby Friction. Bobby has championed the band by giving them radio play
0:29:43 > 0:29:45on his show and nominating them for this gig.
0:29:45 > 0:29:49I've had bands before at the Introducing Stage.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52Great, they've totally filled what Introducing was all about.
0:29:52 > 0:29:55But with Mr Islam, with Abdullah,
0:29:55 > 0:29:59because there's that whole Sufi vibe going on and the Celtic vibe,
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I just think that's he's kind of come home, in a really weird way.
0:30:02 > 0:30:06So I am really excited. I'm not bothered if there's loads of people there
0:30:06 > 0:30:08or a couple of people there,
0:30:08 > 0:30:12cos you will have done what you were supposed to do, which is play at Glastonbury
0:30:12 > 0:30:16and bringing together the Celtic and Islamic and maybe even pagan worlds.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20# Why is your love so hard to get sometimes?
0:30:22 > 0:30:23# T-T-Tell me... #
0:30:23 > 0:30:27While Northampton five-piece NewIslands finish their set,
0:30:27 > 0:30:30Celt Islam prepare to take to the stage.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33However, the earlier bravado seems to have gone amiss.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Have the nerves finally kicked in?
0:30:36 > 0:30:40Now, I just want to get the gig over and done with.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44I just need to focus now on performance.
0:30:44 > 0:30:50With very little time to set up, the band can't afford any hiccups.
0:30:50 > 0:30:53But, lo and behold, there seems to be a problem.
0:30:55 > 0:30:59- What's happened? - The computers went down.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Had to go all the way back.
0:31:01 > 0:31:03See you in a minute.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Ladies and gentlemen, make some noise...
0:31:06 > 0:31:09for Celt Islam!

0:31:47 > 0:31:51With the computer problem sorted, the gig is well under way.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54The crowd are happy, but it doesn't look like Abdullah is.
0:31:57 > 0:32:02Singer Firouzeh joins the band on stage, adding a touch of glamour to the set.
0:32:04 > 0:32:05# Believe me
0:32:05 > 0:32:09# When you go, the times you feel alone
0:32:09 > 0:32:12# Waiting by the phone
0:32:13 > 0:32:16# If only
0:32:16 > 0:32:20# Circumstance allowed you by my side
0:32:20 > 0:32:23# My rollercoaster ride
0:32:25 > 0:32:28# Through the rain
0:32:28 > 0:32:30# The shining light up in the sky
0:32:30 > 0:32:34# Deep within everything I see... #
0:32:35 > 0:32:38After a few glitches and a slightly shorter set than planned,
0:32:38 > 0:32:41the gig is a huge success.
0:32:41 > 0:32:44Celt Islam go down a storm, doing Bobby Friction proud.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47HE SINGS IN HARMONY
0:33:11 > 0:33:14CHEERING
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Thanks, Glastonbury.
0:33:18 > 0:33:19'I enjoyed it.'
0:33:19 > 0:33:24This is the beauty of being a musician and a live artist at times, that things go wrong.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27- Yeah.- But, you know, laptop died.
0:33:27 > 0:33:28Luckily, I used my brains,
0:33:28 > 0:33:32I brought another laptop and got it up and running.
0:33:32 > 0:33:33I had a few monitor problems,
0:33:33 > 0:33:38so I couldn't play as much keyboards as I wanted to, but I just thought,
0:33:38 > 0:33:40"What the hell, have a good time,"
0:33:40 > 0:33:44and so, you know, I kind of did the best I could, really.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46For this opportunity to come along
0:33:46 > 0:33:51and to have the support from BBC Asian Network and Bobby Friction playing me,
0:33:51 > 0:33:54that's a great blessing and an honour and I'm glad that I came, you know.
0:33:57 > 0:34:02It's been a long day, but festivities aren't over yet.
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Sci-fi prog rockers Muse storm the Pyramid Stage,
0:34:12 > 0:34:15bringing Saturday to a super-massive finish.
0:34:25 > 0:34:27London-based singer-songwriter Lettie
0:34:27 > 0:34:31hopes playing the Introducing Stage on Sunday will be her big break.
0:34:36 > 0:34:43My name is Lettie and I create atmospheric, catchy tunes,
0:34:43 > 0:34:46mainly on guitar and keyboards.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52# I was wandering around this dark town
0:34:52 > 0:34:54# The ghost of yesterday still haunts me now... #
0:34:54 > 0:34:59I'm not a great player. I'm a kind of outsider artist when it comes to playing the instruments,
0:34:59 > 0:35:01even though I'm a trained pianist.
0:35:01 > 0:35:05So there's a sense of naivety as well, and I like that.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09I like simple and that approach which is almost childlike.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12# Don't you know
0:35:12 > 0:35:14# The key... #
0:35:14 > 0:35:17Lettie has already recorded two albums.
0:35:17 > 0:35:23But with funds lacking a little promotion, each one has gone unnoticed.
0:35:23 > 0:35:30Lettie has enlisted the help of producer Mike Mason to record her third album.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32He will also be performing with her at Glastonbury.
0:35:38 > 0:35:41I create music using a lot of loops,
0:35:41 > 0:35:46and I love the idea of trying to create as much sound as I can.
0:35:46 > 0:35:51Our idea is to create music that's slightly out of this world, rather than in it.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53# I've got all the things
0:35:53 > 0:35:56# You desire
0:35:56 > 0:36:01# In my pocket I've got dreams for sale... #
0:36:01 > 0:36:04I have been around a long time.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07Since 2007, I've done over 100 gigs.
0:36:07 > 0:36:13There is an element of chaos and danger to our set, which we like to keep in a way.
0:36:13 > 0:36:15It is totally not put on.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Some people say, "You should tidy it up, you should get much more slick."
0:36:19 > 0:36:23# I'll sell you a ticket or sell you a cruise... #
0:36:23 > 0:36:26People are getting a bit bored of slick and,
0:36:26 > 0:36:29you know, I could be in front of a karaoke machine if it was that slick.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32The performances we do are always different,
0:36:32 > 0:36:36and that's why it's so exciting for us to play and for people to hear,
0:36:36 > 0:36:40cos it won't be the same the next time they see us, and that's what we're trying to do,
0:36:40 > 0:36:46create a show where people will come again, because I don't want to see a band again unless it's different.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54Although Lettie's music is relatively unknown,
0:36:54 > 0:36:59she has been spotted by Squeeze's Chris Difford, who is collaborating with her on her latest track.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03# It will change
0:37:03 > 0:37:08# It doesn't have to stay the same... #
0:37:08 > 0:37:14She came very kindly to support me at a gig in London and I was thrilled to hear her stuff.
0:37:14 > 0:37:16It's the kind of music I like to listen to.
0:37:16 > 0:37:18It's very sort of soothing,
0:37:18 > 0:37:22and I feel like I'm in a bath full of lovely music. It's great.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26# It will change
0:37:26 > 0:37:31# It doesn't have to stay the same... #
0:37:31 > 0:37:35I think Glastonbury is an opportunity for everybody who plays there.
0:37:35 > 0:37:40It's a wonderful environment to captivate people. I'm envious that she's playing there.
0:37:40 > 0:37:45I might have to sort of climb in the boot of her car and find my way in.
0:37:58 > 0:38:05It's a glorious Sunday morning, and it looks like the final day of Glastonbury is going to be a corker.
0:38:05 > 0:38:13With 11 promising acts left to grace the Introducing Stage, Lettie has no shortage of competition.
0:38:13 > 0:38:16It's up to her and producer Mike to give the crowd a show to remember.
0:38:16 > 0:38:18Hiya. I'm Abdullah, Celt Islam.
0:38:18 > 0:38:21Have one of my CDs.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23- Oh, great. - I was checking you out on the net.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I haven't brought any. I would give you one.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27No, no, it's all right, love.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31I praise God that everything goes well for you.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Really, I do.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36You know, that's all I can say, really, on that.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38But, yeah, the stage is good.
0:38:38 > 0:38:44- There's lovely people there and anything you need, they'll help you. - That's great.
0:38:44 > 0:38:49# This is the news Something terrible is happening
0:38:49 > 0:38:55# This is the news Something terrible is happening... #
0:38:55 > 0:39:00Setting the bar high for the last day on the Introducing Stage
0:39:00 > 0:39:02are Brighton quartet End Of Level Baddie.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06# It's tragedy followed by... #
0:39:06 > 0:39:10We've got a few hours till we play.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15I think we're loading in quite soon to at least get our stuff there.
0:39:15 > 0:39:17In regards to the performance, we've been talking a bit to Abdullah.
0:39:17 > 0:39:22He's been really great, giving us a few tips.
0:39:22 > 0:39:25The one thing I'm a little bit worried about is the monitoring,
0:39:25 > 0:39:27but I think, if I make a point of that, that's OK.
0:39:27 > 0:39:30We're not too bad about it, are we?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33I've taken some more calm pills, so...
0:39:47 > 0:39:51With a few hours to go before she's due to perform,
0:39:51 > 0:39:57Lettie heads backstage to make the most of her artist's pass and do some serious star spotting.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00We've just seen Doctor Who. I'm very, very excited.
0:40:00 > 0:40:05- Mike watches Doctor Who all the time. - No, I don't.- You do!
0:40:05 > 0:40:08You can't hear Mike at this point cos he's not miked up,
0:40:08 > 0:40:11but he does watch it all the time so he can't argue against me.
0:40:14 > 0:40:19At The Other Stage, thousands of fans wait to see Aussie band The Temper Trap perform.
0:40:19 > 0:40:24They've come a long way since they were spotted by Introducing two years ago.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27I'm a huge fan. Great to meet you.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30Hi. I'm Dougy. What's your name?
0:40:30 > 0:40:32- Lettie.- Cool.- Great to meet you.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37- Nice to meet you. Where are you from?- Have a good gig. London.
0:40:37 > 0:40:41She's also playing today, so she's going to check you out and hoping for the same success.
0:40:41 > 0:40:46- Cool. All the best. - Have we really good one.- Good luck. Thank you so much. See you.- Bye.
0:41:01 > 0:41:07Blagging her way side of stage, Lettie gets a taste of the big time with a band's-eye view of the crowd.
0:41:19 > 0:41:24Sunday's special guest on the Introducing Stage is another treat
0:41:24 > 0:41:26and one of this year's hottest artists.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30Fans crowd in to watch the performance, and Lettie gets back
0:41:30 > 0:41:33just in time to take a front row seat.
0:41:33 > 0:41:38Here at Glastonbury it is the very wonderful Laura Marling!
0:41:57 > 0:42:01# I might be a part of this Ripple on water from a lonesome drip
0:42:01 > 0:42:06# A fallen tree that witnessed me I'm alone, him and me
0:42:09 > 0:42:13# Life itself could not aspire To have someone be so admired
0:42:13 > 0:42:19# I threw creation to my king With a silence broken by a whispered wind... #
0:42:19 > 0:42:22I just saw Laura Marlin, who was just phenomenal.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25She has the most amazing, amazing voice.
0:42:25 > 0:42:32It's so pure and genuine and I said to her how wonderful it was, but, you know, she...
0:42:32 > 0:42:37Obviously it's quite hectic when you come off the stage, but I'm glad I saw her.
0:42:37 > 0:42:40Those two songs she sang are just beautiful.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44A real honour to see her perform.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46And how does that make you feel about your performance?
0:42:46 > 0:42:50It makes me feel incredibly nervous and I've only got 25 minutes to get ready,
0:42:50 > 0:42:54and I'm feeling that I need to get my skates together,
0:42:54 > 0:43:00cos I need to stay calm and that's my biggest thing - I just have to be calm.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05# I was prepared
0:43:05 > 0:43:08# To love you... #
0:43:11 > 0:43:14As London band Dry The River give a seamless performance,
0:43:14 > 0:43:19a very nervous Lettie has less than half a hour to compose herself.
0:43:21 > 0:43:26I'm feeling OK. I think seeing Laura Marling totally put fear into me.
0:43:26 > 0:43:32I think before I was a lot more confident, but I think we...
0:43:32 > 0:43:36I haven't even done my hair, but I think it's going to go fine, you know.
0:43:36 > 0:43:39I'm just going to give it my best shot.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41We've got a few things to set up.
0:43:41 > 0:43:43I've got to make sure my mic's near me.
0:43:43 > 0:43:48As long as I'm comfortable, I can do it, and the loop pedal works.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50I think it'll be fine.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54I'm excited to play. I can't wait to finish, though, I have to admit,
0:43:54 > 0:44:00so I can relax, but I'm looking forward. The adrenaline's rushing. I guess that's a good thing.
0:44:00 > 0:44:02This is the BBC Introducing Stage at Glastonbury.
0:44:02 > 0:44:06And it's a pleasure to welcome this next band on the stage right now.
0:44:06 > 0:44:11I think you're in for a treat on a Sunday afternoon, the last day of Glastonbury.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13Please give a very warm welcome to Lettie!
0:44:19 > 0:44:22# Do you know
0:44:22 > 0:44:24# The key?
0:44:24 > 0:44:27# I've been looking
0:44:27 > 0:44:30# Everywhere
0:44:30 > 0:44:35# He'll show you the back door where they hide
0:44:35 > 0:44:40# With all the grease and all the dirt left behind
0:44:41 > 0:44:46# Mr Lighter, Mr Lighter than my soul... #
0:44:46 > 0:44:50Lettie's atmospheric sound is pulling in the Sunday crowd.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54But as the set progresses, the gremlins have returned.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57# ..the Yellow Brick Road
0:44:57 > 0:45:02# I'm trying to crack The Da Vinci Code
0:45:03 > 0:45:07# With wings on fire I came close to...#
0:45:07 > 0:45:10The computer and keyboards have gone down.
0:45:10 > 0:45:15As Mike frantically tries to find the source of the problem, it's up to Lettie to carry on alone.
0:45:16 > 0:45:20# Hang on, hang on in there
0:45:20 > 0:45:26# Nobody's going to find you Hang on, hang on in there... #
0:45:26 > 0:45:30After breaking a sweat and swapping various wires around, they're back up and running.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Lettie gives it everything she's got for the last song.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35# Don't look down, don't look down
0:45:35 > 0:45:38# Take your eyes right off the ground
0:45:38 > 0:45:40# Hey
0:45:40 > 0:45:42# Hey
0:45:42 > 0:45:44# Look up now, look up now
0:45:44 > 0:45:47# Can't you see we're heading for the sundown
0:45:47 > 0:45:49# Hey
0:45:49 > 0:45:51# Hey
0:45:51 > 0:45:53# Don't look back, don't turn around
0:45:53 > 0:45:55# Take your eyes off the ground... #
0:46:02 > 0:46:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:46:05 > 0:46:08What was good was we pulled through it. I could look at the negatives,
0:46:08 > 0:46:12but I'm a bit of a trooper and things get forgotten very easily.
0:46:12 > 0:46:18And the truth is, sometimes when it's all really, really slick, there's a lot of things I am doing -
0:46:18 > 0:46:22there's a little bit of backing - but on the whole, it has that element of danger.
0:46:22 > 0:46:27And, you know, what happened today really was all technical.
0:46:27 > 0:46:33Mike's keyboard completely died on him, so it was one of those things that was totally out of our control.
0:46:33 > 0:46:36On the whole, the audience were really sweet,
0:46:36 > 0:46:43I didn't see many people walking away, and a few came in and that's the main thing, sustain the interest.
0:46:43 > 0:46:48The one thing I've always feared is being boring and I don't think as a performer I'm boring,
0:46:48 > 0:46:51and if I can achieve that, that's quite a thing for me.
0:46:51 > 0:46:53I never want to be boring.
0:47:02 > 0:47:05It's been another triumphant year for Introducing.
0:47:05 > 0:47:1032 undiscovered acts got the chance to play alongside some of the biggest bands in the world.
0:47:10 > 0:47:16Glastonbury-goers saw some special performances and discovered some amazing new artists.
0:47:16 > 0:47:20Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you so much.
0:47:20 > 0:47:22It's been a brilliant year.
0:47:22 > 0:47:25The quality's been really high. It's really exciting when a band
0:47:25 > 0:47:27plays the BBC Introducing Stage one year,
0:47:27 > 0:47:30then the following year they'll play a bigger stage.
0:47:30 > 0:47:33Sometimes the journey will end on the BBC Introducing Stage, I'll be honest.
0:47:33 > 0:47:38At a festival like Glastonbury, it might be the band's one chance at getting their music out there.
0:47:38 > 0:47:44But if things go an artist's way, they'll get a deal, they'll get a publishing deal,
0:47:44 > 0:47:49management, an agent, they'll go up a notch on the festival stages and get their music out there.
0:47:51 > 0:47:54# Happy birthday... #
0:47:54 > 0:48:00- Hey!- Glastonbury's 40th anniversary is brought to a close with a very special performance
0:48:00 > 0:48:05from Stevie Wonder and extra special guest Michael Eavis.
0:48:05 > 0:48:07# Happy birthday
0:48:07 > 0:48:11# Happy birthday... #
0:48:11 > 0:48:13Our three acts gave it all they had on the Introducing Stage,
0:48:13 > 0:48:17and each one, though not without hiccups, managed to pull it off.
0:48:17 > 0:48:21Each of their performances can be viewed online at...
0:48:24 > 0:48:26You know what the reality of it is.
0:48:26 > 0:48:33Monday morning's work, we've got to go to work, but, yes, the camping experience - it's been a bit mad.
0:48:33 > 0:48:37It's fantastic to now be able to say I've played Glastonbury.
0:48:37 > 0:48:40It's been amazing, the whole experience.
0:48:40 > 0:48:43This is something that I've dreamt of for years.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47For this opportunity to come along and to have the support from the BBC,
0:48:47 > 0:48:52that's a great blessing and an honour and I'm glad that I came.
